How Do You Create A Scene Nickname?
• Do your research. Look around the internet for other scene nicknames. Pay particular attention to those you like and those you hate. • Decide on the features you want.Try following the features of nicknames you liked such as misspellings or alliteration: • Kiki Kannibal • Haiden Hypnotiq, etc. • Decide on appropriate words to use. Make a collage or list of all the features about yourself you think are important. These could be physical features or personal style choices. This will give somebody an idea about the kind of person you are from your nickname. Check you haven’t stolen an identity. Type your new found scene name into a search engine or MySpace and look at the results. If someone else has the same nickname then try to find another you like because this will prevent arguments later on.
