Default Screennames

Maybe a bit of a weird subject/ topic, but I've been thinking about this a bit lately and I really do think there are screennames that will get you more or less respect, or give you more the image of a fish to an unknown.

For example, if I see somebody at the table with the nick enormousdonk they usually are 2p2 type of players. They don't have to be good, but atleast you can pick up their line of thinking easier.

On the other hand, a name like cowboys222 is extremely more likely to be a total fish then enormous donk for example.

Seems like there is some merit in carefully selecting a screenname.

Anyone got some thoughts on this topic?

people who use their names as nicknames (for example marcelsomethingsomething) are huge fish.

Really? I use my name and I don't consider myself a huge fish. I'd say anything that has fish/donk etc in it is unlikely to be one though.
