The Internet today is a universal way to communicate with your friends and loved ones at a distance, as well as endless gigabytes of entertainment and opportunities. Often people “go online” to forget about reality and become someone else.

And while social networks usually use your real name so that friends and family can easily find you, nicknames are often required for online games, dating chats and other cases. Choosing a nickname, of course, is not as difficult as choosing, for example, a stage name for an artist, but it is also important. Who knows how far your hobby will go and how long and where you will need to use this nickname.

Therefore, it needs to be memorable, original and more or less neutral. Just imagine a respected man under 30 with the nickname Seigneur puppy (“Senior Puppy”), which he chose for fun about 15 years ago. To prevent this from happening to you, approach choosing a name for the Internet not only with a great deal of creativity, but also wisely.

In this article you will find a variety of English nicknames for guys and girls with translation into Russian. So, if you are now looking for a cool, cute or original nickname, then these lines are for you.

What is a nickname?

The word nickname translates as “nickname, nickname, pseudonym” and comes from the Middle English expression an eke name, which over time transformed into the similar-sounding “a nick name”.

In Russian, we more often use a shortened version of this word - “nik”, also known as “nickname”.

How to choose a nickname in English?

Secondly, understand for what purpose you are choosing a nickname. Most often, nicknames in English are used by guys for online games. Here the imagination is almost limitless. You can call yourself Rambo for a shooter or Badass for a survival race. Also, nicknames for guys may be needed for online dating chats or Tinder. In this case, it is better to choose a nickname that will not scare away the opposite sex.

By the way, a nickname is not always a word that is not related to your real name. You can often find nicknames with variations of names, especially for girls. For example, Katrin can take the nickname Sweety Kate (Sweet Kate) or Creepy Kitty (Strange Kitty), but for a guy such a nickname in English would be at least a strange choice, so men often use shortened versions of their name. Like Joe The Runner or Just Matt.

In general, guys usually look for cool nicknames in English, and girls look for cute nicknames. Nicknames are often based on real nicknames given to a person by friends. Some people use their date or year of birth in their nickname, but it’s better not to do this in order to protect your personal data from hackers.

Show originality in choosing your future Internet name: this way, the likelihood that your nickname will be taken will be reduced to almost zero.

Nicknames for social networks, for example, for VKontakte

When communicating on the Internet, not everyone wants to tell everything about themselves (which is absolutely correct). In the first stages of acquaintance, the name is hidden in most cases, some abstract nickname is taken that says nothing about the person or only slightly lifts the veil of uncertainty.

Girls prefer something light, sometimes funny or cool, they decorate the name with all sorts of symbols, like here:

We come up with a nickname for girls by last name

Then their friends will easily recognize them, and the previous discontent will disappear. Choose an option that is easy to remember, concise, and looks beautiful in Latin.

Your nickname should set you apart from others. Therefore, take his choice responsibly. Although... humor will not be superfluous.

  • Try to make the name look good. For example, TainaShow looks better than tainashow.
  • Do not use special characters such as ★~](](, this is not always appropriate.
  • If you create a nickname based on your last name or first name, use them short form, then the final version will be concise.
  • The nickname should be easy to pronounce.
  • When choosing, remember your talents and hobbies. Such applications (Act, Dancer, Speaker, Coach, Violin) to the name - in combination they will give a good nickname: AnnaViolin, LanaDancer, AlexCoach.
  • You can associate a nickname with your place of birth or residence. Lesya Ukrainka is a great example.
  • After reading our recommendations, come up with a few names, write them down on paper and read them out loud. Are you pleased to hear them?

Continuation. . .

Funny and cool -

Millions of people register daily on social networks VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Facebook and others, as well as on forums. Some choose original nicknames for themselves, while most simply write a set of letters. You can come up with a nickname for yourself for all occasions once and register under it everywhere, but then you should take this seriously so that both friends and business negotiations will not be ashamed to appear with such a nickname. So what should you call yourself on social networks?

Although it is customary to use real first and last names on social networks, some people, for some reason, are not eager to show their real data. Therefore, we will devote this article specifically to nicknames. So, it depends for what purpose you will use your account. If it’s just for communication, then you can leave the first name and come up with a nickname instead of the last name, if this is not necessary, then the choice can be very varied.

How to name yourself on VKontakte

This network is most often used for entertainment, so a funny, memorable nickname is quite suitable here.

How to name yourself on Twitter

Here we are not adding friends, but readers, so your nickname on this network must be original and positive so that people want to read you.

How to name yourself on Odnoklassniki

Since people on this social network are mainly looking for their childhood friends and classmates, you can use your old nicknames, which will evoke nostalgia and positive emotions among your old friends. As for the rest, fantasy has no limits.

How to choose a nickname anyway

  • According to real names. Remove something, add something, and it can turn out very well (for example, Nikolai Andreevich - Nikandr). Or just change the name a little, Anya - Anet. Also possible with last names.
  • According to your occupation. Try translating this word into different languages, there will definitely be something beautiful. It can also be a hobby, profession, talent. Accordingly, you can choose in such a way that there is a bias towards the product that you are selling, if it is used for commercial purposes.
  • According to character traits. If you have some special character trait that everyone knows about, then it can turn out original.
  • By appearance. Elements of appearance can also be used in a nickname, thereby telling a little about yourself.
  • Foreign names. Each of them has some meaning, so you can choose the one that suits you.
  • Characters. These can be your favorite characters from books, films, TV series, games (for gamers). These can also be the names of birds, animals, plants.
  • Generator. If things are really bad for you, then an online generator will come to the rescue, and even if it gives out crazy ideas, it may give you a brilliant idea.

There are different selection criteria depending on your goal, what kind of nickname you need, it can be: memorable, trustworthy, funny, serious.

There are a lot of beautiful words in the world, from the names of cities to the chemical elements in the periodic table. So what to call yourself on social networks (VKontakte, Odnoklassniki) is only a matter of your imagination.

What can readers offer?

On all social networks and on most websites I call myself by my name in Russian or English. And I put avatars with my photo. I don’t think it’s necessary to invent something and hide behind some screen of an invented name or a faceless avatar. I prefer openness.

In my opinion, in social networks it is better to use your real name. Or its derivatives

I called myself a remote control, because this nickname, nickname, was given to me by my parents back in childhood when our remote control was broken and we had to switch channels manually. So it has stuck with me to this day. VK I don’t call myself by my real name because I don’t take this social network seriously. On the forums it’s just a remote control because there can be a lot of jokes about the name, but I don’t need that. My email is also not by name, something like [email protected]

What witty parents you have. I had the nickname “the foolish princess” because of my eternally gloomy face. But calling yourself that social networks I won't dare. By the way, despite my childhood nickname, I grew up to be a laughing, cheerful person. Sometimes I can laugh at every little thing. Sometimes it even becomes indecent.

Well, yes, your childhood nickname is too long, but you can limit yourself to an abbreviation and add one letter hahaha! Only a decent ato can turn out to be very incompetent. But as it is, there was no nickname even at school, that is, a second name. Unless well-wishers called him a gopher, since the surname is similar.

Hah. It’s a matter of imagination, how you want to look in front of people and introduce yourself that way. So, in general, we are used to registering ourselves on various resources, trying not to use our real last name or first name. And we are called some kind of masyans or vacuum cleaners. On the other hand, if all people on the network used only their first and last names, then there would not be a social network, for example, but some kind of database/

I agree, in any case, you can come up with something interesting, derivatives of the name, it’s still social. networks.

Well, it’s better to register on social networks under your own name - in general, they were created so that people could find each other by first and last name.

Agree. What's the point in the left names?

I also believe that there is no need to hide behind some made-up names and pictures. For me, social life is communication with friends. This means I must be real there, and not fictional.

Of course you need to provide real data

Nicknames like “Mom’s Joy or One Like This” are annoying. I prefer on social media. Sign up on networks with your real name, and on forums with your name or your daughter’s name in English. It’s simple and clear, and easy for someone to find if they need me. I love everything simple and clear

I think it will be universal to be called a pseudonym, as long as your sense of humor and imagination are sufficient. Rocksteady Bibovich Krenov - as an example, clumsy but more creative than a generator.

Real data is for a questionnaire where you are asked to indicate real data. This is the Internet and Antoshi Chekhonte’s pseudonyms are welcome here.

My kote carries the meaning of kote, which is understandable to many, plus it is written as coffee.

I’m on social networks based on real data, but why should I hide? A common name, a bunch of acquaintances, there’s nothing special about it. In principle, I don’t hide anything about myself, both my face and my nickname or real last name, I can register under my maiden name, but this is not deception at all, as I think. I also have different nicknames on various other sites, I’m tired of people finding out from some site and then asking to be my friend. So we are friends at the same time - we are much more.

Nastasya13

If anyone doesn’t know, in the West they have already stopped starting email, a FaceBook profile is immediately created instead. This is me talking about the question of choosing “to present real data” or “fake” data.

On the one hand, it’s clearer who is who, but the variety of names is not so diverse... If everyone writes their full name, it will turn out “if not a mug, it’s Seryozha.” And it’s not known what’s worse: a clumsy nickname or Seryozha100500999. Well, it’s not possible for everyone to just call themselves real data! You will still have to use a nickname or digital ID.

It depends on why you registered there, if for different links, then your imagination will tell you if this is yours real account, then it’s better to give your real first and last name so that your friends can find you for communication.
Many create for games, here too you can invent a name for yourself.

I am for real names and surnames in contact, classmates, Facebook, if you wish, you can indicate a nickname next to it in brackets. Change it at least every day. But they will look for you by your real name and surname, and not by nickname. This, of course, has nothing to do with fake pages.

Melisandre

In VK there is a real name, when I registered, and that was a long time ago, I somehow didn’t think about the possibility of taking a pseudonym. And sometimes it’s more convenient to have a page under your real name.
On Twitter, on forums, etc. I take as nicknames some random sets of words that come to my mind and seem to sound good as nicknames.

Modern nicknames can be written in English and Russian letters, called by Japanese names, and also come up with funny options to bring a smile to your opponent’s face.

Inscriptions in English letters in the transliteration style are becoming popular - when the English font copies the Russian pronunciation and vice versa.

Cool names for VK, options for fakes, as well as other nicknames will help you choose the right one and make the correspondence unusual.

Creating fake pages for girls is commonplace today. Such pages are often spare pages; they are needed in case the main account is blocked.

Girls also use fake pages for secret acquaintances and correspondence with friends, for pranks and games.

Often, behind a girl’s fake page is a guy who in this way wants to find female friends or simply play a prank on his acquaintances.

Let's look at the options for nicknames for VK that can be used to call a fake page:

  • Alina Komarova.
  • Lizaveta Vorobyova.
  • Zinaida Kamerova.
  • Alice May.
  • Adeline Agnesi.
  • Violetta Fialkova.
  • Irene Naumenko.
  • Ivanna Nastina - this combination is formed from the surname Ivanov with the name Anastasia, replacing the surname with the name.
  • Marinina Ekaterina – Marianna Katina: a good option leave your name, slightly modifying it.
  • Dinara Gorshkova is an unusual option for a girl with an oriental photo.
  • Claudia Vorontsova - this combination is obtained due to the combination of the original Russian pronunciation with the original Russian surname.

When choosing a nickname for a fake page, you shouldn’t be too original: social network administrators carefully monitor the presence of bots, so they can easily block a new page.

It is better to choose beautiful Russian options, slightly modifying them in your own way.

Popular Russian names

The Russian language is rich and diverse, so the list of female names can be continued endlessly.

There are the most popular types that you should not choose for your page, so as not to become the thousandth owner of a similar account.

Let's look at the top Russian names:

  • Maria- the most common name today for newborn girls: all Mashas are a little capricious, but good-natured and calm as they grow older.
  • Victoria– another of the beautiful but common options: characterizes a balanced and calm person who takes care of himself and his appearance.
  • Julia– indecisive, slightly fearful girls who, as they grow older, discover their full potential and find purpose in life.
  • Daria– charming, quick-witted and persistent in achieving her goals.
  • Christina– an unpredictable person with an excellent memory, shy, outwardly reserved, but inside lies a stormy temperament.
  • Anastasia– a cool name for a trusting girl who shows care and love for others.
  • Anna– analytical, picky, often conflict-ridden girls who try to achieve everything in life on their own.

Popular options also include Ksenia, Alina, Angelina, Alice, Natalia, Ekaterina, Elena and Polina.

Important! You should not name your account with a name that is too popular - such a page will get lost among thousands of similar requests.

Once you choose the option you want, you can try to modify it to your liking to differentiate yourself from other accounts.
