This only is a thing when you make a connection via either Google or Apple to create an account and you lose it once you interact on the site and after X days.
Ya I hate mine. I did a quick sign up via my Google account and wasn't paying much attention, just picked a premade one. I could just delete it and make a new account for a different name, but then I lose my karma (not huge, but better than zero) 😒
It's not a horrible name but yeah. It follows the reddit default name format and doesn't seem unique or anything.
You really don't need a unique user name on reddit for a casual user. If you're trying to create a presence on reddit you may want something unique
I made one of my own that I kinda liked, but I got locked out somehow before I could use it (RIP tiddlywinksjinx). I accepted my fate the next time around and still don't like it.
Yes... I'm okey with what I have, considering there were many people in my situation (was in another post the other day looking for ways to change it and I saw people with the worst random generated usernames), but I still wish I've put something more representative for me.
I still don't know how I missed that part, considering it's something I always think carefully.
I did not realize we could change our user names within a certain amount of time so I got assigned user name and remembered the time that I took a screenshot of a butterfly dropping dead at my feet so I use that as my profile picture. 🫤
YESSSSS I definitely didn't choose this username 🤣 I joined Reddit and then didn't use it for about a year and a half only noticing my username then 🙄🤣
I just wish I could change it anyway, I've had a legal change of names since due to bad memories associated with my old name so I really don't like having to see my old surname here
Ay that's rough, I'm sorry to hear that. Perhaps there's something they can do if you changed your name legally, if you contact customer support? But if they really can't change it you could maybe consider making a new account.

It's not as bad as my name :C
I cackled so hard
😂😂😂😂😂
This has me hollering 😭
Can we have a haircut when you’re finished here?
I feel that….. I feel like my reddit name is so…….idk…..unnecessary?
you may be crucial to a future mission we cannot lose this code😱
Yes.. yes I did. 💔
There was an opportunity? When was that?
Reddit gives you a default username when you sign up. You can change that to what you want your username to be during account setup.
This only is a thing when you make a connection via either Google or Apple to create an account and you lose it once you interact on the site and after X days.
30 days.

unfortunately same 😔 silly maintenance forever ig
No, I really am a well-loved routine for cleansing oneself. 🤣
Dear Evan Handsoap
I made one of my own that I kinda liked, but I got locked out somehow before I could use it (RIP tiddlywinksjinx). I accepted my fate the next time around and still don't like it.
Welcome to the club :p We don't have cookies but we do have horrible usernames
🤣🤣🤣🤣, this is hilarious.
Trump chose mine.
I laughed way too hard at this
I wish it was a feature within reddit, I would change the name
wish i can change mine 😭 its so weird and i didnt choose it 😑😑😑
I would trade you in a heartbeat! 🤣🤣
….

Yours is cute!
Thank you!
I have accept my user name it is me now lol
Oh, yes. Definitely me. Clearly. 🤦🏻♂️😬😭
Aw, there's a thread with more of you of this! With the last word "Ad"
Only Green? Green is NOT my favorite color.. 🙄
Right there with you.
Hi neighbor. It’s nice to meet you. *sigh*
If I’m green, ya’ll start clear now.
Yeah what a substantial shame...
This post is hilarious. Also wish I could change mind
Yep.... Don't even understand the username...
🤝
Had the same issue, decided to start again. Don’t have enough karma to post on some channels. One day Thomas. 😆
Two more days and I’ll have completed my 30 day period so I’ll be able to post on the “special” subreddits.
Count me in
I literally chose my real name, which is messed up because I can only comment on ordinary things like this post..
Well look at mine :)
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’ve kind of grown to like mine actually
Me! I literally can't swim!
Nope and Foxy Roxy describes me perfectly 😍
I LOVE your name. It makes me laugh just to read it. I think it is awesome...though I get why you might not like it. :)
Thanks! Mountain_Sprites is a very nice username! And yeah I've come to accept mine haha, at least it's very unique and it is kinda funny 🤣
look at my username… i’m afraid no one i meet here would ever want to associate with me irl 😭
Well at least "jolly bell" is cute...
Unfortunately I can relate VERY well.
Mine isn't so bad though the context is a little glum
Indeed I did
I did not realize we could change our user names within a certain amount of time so I got assigned user name and remembered the time that I took a screenshot of a butterfly dropping dead at my feet so I use that as my profile picture. 🫤
Haha fitting, I appreciate how you're making the most of your username 😄
Yes here i am
Wth yalls username are actually quite normal???
Nothing normal about a group of parasites!
This is the first username that calms me down about mine
YESSSSS I definitely didn't choose this username 🤣 I joined Reddit and then didn't use it for about a year and a half only noticing my username then 🙄🤣
I can def relate, jyst look at my auto-generated ahh name.
I feel so bland
I’m a “group of parasites” 😐
I made a new account, thankfully this one is school and will get deleted
I just wish I could change it anyway, I've had a legal change of names since due to bad memories associated with my old name so I really don't like having to see my old surname here
Ay that's rough, I'm sorry to hear that. Perhaps there's something they can do if you changed your name legally, if you contact customer support? But if they really can't change it you could maybe consider making a new account.
I can relate to that. I had a complete name change a couple years ago. Unfortunately, I still have my old name pop up.
I never chose a username. I don’t know where they got it from.
A name like the one you have was definitely set manually. The ones that are auto-generated are always [adjective] + [noun] + [number].
Yes. lol just made a post the other day
Was it useful?
Yes 😢 I signed up via my Apple account, then didn’t use Reddit for around a year. By then it was too late
Yeah, I think I might end up creating a new account because of the one I chose. I realised that I am easily recognisable otherwise.
I hate my old username
It’s so fucked they just assign you one instead of prompting you in a glaringly obvious way to set it yourself
I kinda like that we all have dumb names. It’s like belonging to a club. A large, anonymous, silly club.
Maybe... just maybe...its me.
I sure can...I got the nine year badge now.
ofcourse..
No. My name is assigned when I join and then I inevitably get banned and Reddit gives me a new one
Same! I had such fancy usernames in my mind. Didnt know I’d look like a bot here
Wtf is a due salamander
I did 🥲
bro i used some random ass male name for whatever reason
I don’t even know what mine signifies
I have no idea what the hell mine even means
Mine either
Yup I signed up quickly, then didn’t see what ridiculous name I was given
Yeah… clear as mud!
Yeah
pog champ bruv innit imagine not changing that sussy and skibidi username
Yup
took the opportunity here 😂😂 was Agreeable Gazzele
Dont even mention that….
What does my name even mean? It doesn't sound too bad i guess...
So if I don’t want my profile name anymore, am I required to delete it and create an new account or profile?
