If you are under the impression that only actors, theater artists, singers, dancers and stage performers are the ones who require catchy and cool screen names, then you're completely mistaken my friend. In addition to all the above-mentioned people, each and every single person who makes use of instant messaging applications, online chat rooms, online dating portals, matrimonial websites, etc. requires a screen name. Almost all the above Internet-based applications make the process of creating a screen name mandatory, during user registration. So, if you are a user who wishes to find a screen name for your virtual avatar, or you happen to be unsatisfied with your existing name and wish to change the screen name, take a look at the following screen name ideas. You can come up with creative screen names in many different ways. The simplest way is to use your name as the first half of your screen name and use something else as the second half. That 'something else' could be a variety of things. You could think of your birth date, place of birth, favorite flower, favorite animal, etc. For example, if your name happens to be Annie Jones and you were born on the 18th of January in Chicago, then these could be some very basic screen name ideas for you:

• anniejones18
