Social networks have become firmly established in the lives of Russians. Communication - something that many people lack in real life - has moved to the virtual plane. And if representatives of the older generation call themselves simply, often choosing a first and last name for a nickname, then young people look for interesting words and their combinations, trying to amaze and surprise subscribers on the Internet. Let's look at the most original and failed versions of how you can call yourself on VK.
Do you need a nickname?
Naming a page on a social network is a standard action. But without such a procedure, finding a specific person would be difficult. However, no one obliges the user to enter truthful information about himself. The main thing is to tell your potential friend what you are called on the Internet.
An invented nickname will help you keep some secret and hide from people you don’t want to communicate with. Psychologists say that a pseudonym can tell more about a person than the name given to him at birth.
The problem of what to call your name in VK is relevant for those who want to avoid the banal mention of passport data. Leaving reality for the virtual world helps you relax and forget about existing problems. Such a release borders on the extreme, especially when there are dark streaks in a person’s life.
Thus, a nickname gives you a complete sense of freedom and the opportunity to represent yourself as anyone, which significantly expands the boundaries of communication.
How to choose a good nickname?
If a social network user is puzzled by this question, and not just indicated his name on the page, then he simply needs to come up with a nickname. Whether it will be successful or ordinary, time will tell.
This, for example, happens when a mother chooses an unusual name for her child, and after a few years she realizes that it is not so rare. It’s surprising that the same name is given to the children in your building, in the kindergarten, in the recreation park, and in the entertainment and development centers for children.
There are many options on the Internet for how to name yourself on VK. You can give your last name, if it is original enough, or you can take several letters from your first and middle names and put them together into a single word. For example, Andrei Nikolaevich will become Anik, and Elena Karpovna will become Elka.
If such a simple nickname is not suitable, and the user has no desire to mention his passport details, then you can come up with an original name or use an online name generator. Perhaps the last option, when the computer program does everything itself, will turn out to be the most successful.
How can you come up with a beautiful nickname yourself?
You need to come up with a nickname depending on what goals you want to achieve with this action. First, you need to write down on a piece of paper or in a text document on your computer the ideas that come to mind first. The selection can be made after a fairly large list has been recorded. This will allow you to visually and mentally select the most harmonious and outwardly attractive from the available options.
The nickname should be an incentive to take certain actions. You can choose something important for yourself, reflecting your field of activity and interests. You can rearrange the words in your name, if you don’t want to tie a fictitious name to your type of activity, try writing your first or last name backwards - it might turn out to be an interesting option.
Good nicknames
There are several rules for naming a page on VK:
- Preference should be given to those names that contain a mystery. This way you can attract interesting virtual interlocutors who like to solve mysteries.
- Nicknames that duplicate the names of movie characters or computer game heroes are considered winning options.
- Ease of pronunciation of the page name is no less important than its meaning.
- Nicknames associated with nature and its phenomena are considered good.
- If the name brings a smile or makes the user laugh, that's a great sign. Cheerful and carefree friends – that’s what most people expect from virtual dating.
- A short phrase in a foreign language will become a specific filter for narrow-minded subscribers who will be afraid to communicate with intellectual individuals. Naturally, we are not talking about a simple set of Latin letters, but about a sentence with a semantic load.
- A page for work, for example, for selling goods, must clearly indicate those products that are put up for sale.
For open people who are ready to talk about themselves, a good name would be a word that names any character trait or element of appearance inherent in the owner of the page.
On what basis do you choose a short name for VK?
If you decide to choose a short name in English, then you probably need some degree of anonymity for your account, otherwise you would simply write your real name in your profile. When choosing a nickname, you can be guided by the following principles:
- Make sure to translate the English word in the name correctly and accurately so that it means exactly what you want it to mean.
- Some people around you on social networks may lose you if you change your nickname. Therefore, it is advisable to never change it significantly, and immediately choose a name that you will have for a long time.
- Do not use numbers from your date of birth in VK, as many do. Publishing personal data will weaken the security of your account and increase the likelihood of hacking.
- The name in VK should characterize your personality, or the personality behind the anonymous mask of which you are going to hide.
The English language is less rich than Russian, but words in a foreign language sound unusual and attractive to a Russian-speaking audience. In addition, English has many beautiful and pleasant words.
Which nickname to choose is not recommended
How you can call yourself on VK and what rules to follow is now clear. It remains to be seen which names will not add popularity and may even alienate potential subscribers.
It is believed that calling oneself any animal is a sign of short-range intelligence and accessibility. Virtual users also don’t like long names that don’t make sense, as well as nicknames that are difficult to pronounce.
A bad opinion is left by names that are often found on the Internet and set the teeth on edge, such as Sunny and Kitty. It looks ugly when the younger generation, who have indicated their age on a social network, comes up with old lady nicknames. Pages where the social status or psychological state is noted in the name are not welcomed by the community.
How to subscribe to a community

The sooner it will be possible to monetize it and attract advertisers. Well, that's all, the material has come to an end.

However, it should be remembered that soft symbols missing from the keyboard may not be displayed on the social network. The result will not be the original nickname, but letters with empty squares located next to them.
Therefore, when trying to surprise your friends in the virtual world, you should not look for rarely seen signs. It is possible that time will be wasted. Conversely, a simple and short word without additional characters will hit the nail on the head.
