How the usernames are generated
Words are drawn from this page's own lists of everyday adjectives and nouns, combined in the style you pick, and optionally followed by a random number. Randomness comes from your browser's Web Crypto. Names longer than your maximum are dropped.
Nothing is stored or sent.
Limits: the page cannot check whether a name is free on a site, which characters that site allows, or trademarks. Including your full name, birth year or town in a public username gives some of your identity away.
