Internet predators could potentially identify your location by your screen name. Something like SweetTexarkanaHighDinosaurGirl91 might seem innocent at first until you realize that online sleuths can probably decipher it as a Texarkana, TX, high school girl who graduated or was born in 1991.

Just like when creating strong passwords that are hard to guess, you can also use non-English word combinations to build unlikely usernames. Consider substituting symbols and letters that are similar: &#64;&#61;a, 3&#61;e, $&#61;5, S&#61;5. Most messaging apps and social networks will let you use symbols in a username and, with many to choose from; the possibilities are nearly endless. For example, if SweetPurpleDinosaur7 is already in use, consider making it $weetPurpleD1nOsaur7.
