1. With only 12 letters to make a user name, you must pick a name carefully. Many people think having numbers in your name says you're not creative enough to make an original name. Names also depend on what you will do in RuneScape.
2. Select something that indicates your skill as a pure. If you are a pure (you only train one skill, such as strength), you should have a name having something to do with your skill. An example: "Archer_Boy" would be a good name for a pure ranger.
3. Don't focus on one skill if you are a main. If you are a main (working on all your skills) choose a name that isn't in just one category. Such as: "Mage_Dude" would not be a good name for a main because the character is not a pure mage.
4. Pick a scary name for a PKer. If you are a PKer (Player Killer) then you should have a scary name. "I_PK_U" or "U_Will_Die" would be good names for a PKer. Although it was mentioned before that numbers aren't brilliant, they can be a PKer's best friend. Adding spaces and numbers to your name makes it nearly impossible for a victim to look up your stats quickly.
* Note:If you write pker or pure then more people might look up your name before they fight. If, however, you want to trick people saying you are a range pure and in the dueling ring pick a mage fight. (Secretly you will be a mage pure and you will very likely own them.)
* If you are a Pker but you want to trick people into thinking you are not a PKer then omit pker or pure in your user name.
5. Make your name easy to remember but something that fits you just right and remember, you CANNOT change your name unless you start over with another account.

*Another great idea is to choose a name that has to do with something that you're a fan of. An example is if you're a fan of Star Wars you can pick Stwrs_fa_n2 or if you're a fan of Naruto, pick Naruto_fa_n2.
* Don't make a name too complicated or does not make sense. Names should be funny, cool or different, but should make sense. If you can't find a good name for you user, try choosing something like, hello936 or 14236 or hieeeee123 or goodbye765.
* Try adding on things like XxX, XOXO, XO etc. to the beginning or end of an already taken user name.
* Try a name with two words, that when you say make one thing, like 'Miss Tick' to 'mistique', or 'miss cheif'.
* Also if you do pick a name with numbers use it to fill in letters such as 0 for o or 3 for e.
* You can always use your nickname as your SN, adding Xs at the beginning/end.
* If you are trying to avoid being looked up quickly, try giving yourself a name that is confusing to remember and look up, like "nmnmnmnmmnmn". There is an almost endless number of combinations in confusing names that will confuse your opponent. Anything that looks the same will be great. Like o0o0o0I1lo0o0.
* Trying putting 2 words that sounds 'cool' together such as Glory And K0, thus making Glory K0.
* If your name doesn't fit into 12 characters, put the words together. For example, Da_Cool_Kid_Guy becomes dacoolkidguy.
* Pick an original name! NOT some nobody name like 56894215 or whatever. If you're a girl pick something like MissJelly or LadyPuffPuff. Now that's something cool. If you're a guy pick something like IwearPink or Loveunot. Also very cool.
* by now you get the point with names that are of your style and what not but just remember that you only get one chance to pick a username so take the extra 10 minutes to really think about it and most importantly have fun!

* Once a username is chosen it cannot be undone without a new account!
* remember that if you pick a username that's "innapropriate" in jagex's eyes it will be banned and you don't want to start over and let your hard work go down the drain so keep that in mind.
