The Big List of Cool Nicknames for Guys and Girls
Unique and Cool Nicknames Require Patience—Don't Choose Too Quickly
Any guy or girl trying to come up with a cool nickname try to strive for one thing... for the name to relate to them in some way, whether it be through their physical traits or their personality. Everyone wants their alternate online identity to be unique, but the coolest nicknames always seem to meet that criteria.
Nicknames are pretty easy to find on the Internet, but finding really good nicknames that meet the above criteria can be a bit hit or miss at best; you usually have to wade through a lot of bad ones to find a good one. A second name is a bit of a necessity on the web these days. It's an alternate way for friends and people who aren't necessarily close friends to bond with you. A nickname is like a name that really isn't yours, but is. They've been used for a very long time and will continue to be used far into the future. In real life, nicknames are mostly given to you by people who know you. On the web, however, you usually have the luxury of choosing a nickname, so take your time and choose well.
