How to make a Good Nickname for my Account?
The nickname you use in your SD2 account is the most deliberate clue about what kind of person you are. Certainly, there are many aspects to consider when choosing a nickname. If you choose a dirty name as your nickname, you will only taint your character and personality.
Here are some hints to help you decide on your nickname:
- Opt for an alias that shows the true you
- Consider your childhood aliases, favourite movie characters, pet names, sports aliases that have a significant attachment to you
- Include memorable numbers in your nickname to make it unique from the others
Remember, your nickname is an extension of you. Have fun with it, but also remember that what you choose could affect you in the long term so choose carefully and creatively.
