Internet chatting may probably be one of the most popular concepts to have made way ever since the advent of the Internet. The possibilities that this medium opens up for people is truly amazing.

A simple click of a button and you have at your behest thousands and thousands of contacts and people to chat with... and all this without even having to leave your home (!!). The concept of chatting has opened up a whole new world to people, and the only thing they need in order to access this world full of possibilities is a stable Internet connection.

• You can use capital letters, numbers, or other elements like ASCII characters to separate the words.

Things to Consider

• A screen name is sometimes all-encompassing, which means it is not solely used for chatting, but for several other applications on the website as well, like web forums and email accounts. There is therefore the need to choose a name that you do not mind being a common feature in all these.

• Try to steer clear of any names that may hurt religious sentiments or degrade a race or gender etc.
• Don't use only a combination of numbers as your screen name. Not only is it difficult to read, but you'll make no impact whatsoever.

• Many people borrow celebrity names for this purpose. This tactic does not really work because it does not tell people anything about the person. And also, no one is fooled that it is the real celebrity chatting across the screen.

• If the name is to be used only for the purpose of a chat room then you can take a clue from the specific chat forum and adopt a name thus. For example, if the chat room centers on Harry Potter as its theme, then you could take up something on the lines of 'Seeking-Harry-Potter' or 'JK-Rowling-Fan'.

Choose a screen name carefully, 'cause it's going to be yours for a long, long time. With the varied tips and examples provided for in this article, finding/coming up with a name should not be that difficult.
