Random username generator? (lemmy.ml)

I usually go to reddit and copy the first username that I see. Is there a quicker way to get a username like noun_adjective_number?

theres an xkcd password generator for the terminal or a site that does a similar thing here

I use my password manager (keepass) to generate a "phrase" and use that as name.

Idk, you could try to find a list of noun, a list of adjective and then make a lil python/bash script that randomly generates a nickname. (There might be an easier solution tho)

I made a python script (Yup I'm bored lol)
https://codeberg.org/UncleReaton/RUNG

#!/usr/bin/python3
import random

with open("adjectives.txt", "r") as f_adj:
    adj = f_adj.readlines()

with open("nouns.txt", "r") as f_nouns:
    nouns = f_nouns.readlines()
    
rand_noun = nouns[random.randint(1, len(nouns))].strip()
rand_adj = adj[random.randint(1, len(adj))].strip()
rand_number = str(random.randint(0, 100))
print(rand_noun + "_" + rand_adj + "_" + rand_number)
