Did you get the PSN name you wanted?

Or do you take your original in the grave?

I've been asking for a long time to change my PlayStation Network ID, but did not you know, now that the weather is near, I find myself holding back. Out of nowhere, I had doubts.

Yes, there are persistent problems in some PS4 games if you follow the process, but I do not think that's my problem. It's more about letting go since May 2008. I may not do it. as my user grip – it's silly! – but there is a literal literal decade here.

After almost changing names, backed off after taking some potential names, and then coming back half an hour later, I did it. DtoidGrim is gone. That's DtoidJordan now, thanks. If you've read this site long enough, you'll know why I've had this original ID.

Many of you have probably chosen your name and are ready to leave, but if you are stuck in front of the name change screen, perhaps leave a chance to Sony's recommendations. They are something, agree.

Here is an example of the algorithms suggested PSN names that I refused to use:

• admiral_dark028
• jeune127bee
• elegant_lunch976
• hades691jaded
• menacing_wall707
• calvitie193crib
• worried-sand310
• Soup-abrasive355
• wild-atreus922
• writer_upbeat459

After seeing these and countless others, I now imagine Paul Rudd telling an AI to prepare some possible names. "Computer, do not settle for numbers or underlines, players love them."

I feel like a sizeable group of people who will find this feature more challenging than expected. If all else fails, there are always these last stupid name-generating sites as a last resort.

How are you doing? Did you get the PSN name you wanted?
