That's a fun name. Looks untidy and impersonal though.

They could use spaces though or hyphens, it would be different at least.
I prefer using usernames without numbers in them.
When I see numbers, I have a habit of assuming newbie/n00byness.
I think numbers in usernames are silly. I generally get the impression that they are rather young and/or naive and have difficulties taking them seriously.
If you added a number because the name was taken, I'd just say you should deal with the name being taken, and find a more original name.
everything is wrapped in gray
i'm focusing on your image
can you hear me in the void?
I don't really use numbers, unless the numbers actually mean something to me.
This thread has given me a lot to think about, not least that I need a less n00bish username.
This is a signature.

If numbers are deliberate, then it usually looks decent.
Numbers work very rarely.
I wouldn't say that they imply noobishness.
But utilizint letters can be done just as easily or easier, and that iws where true creativity comes from. Your screen name is, after all, the thing that makes you individual among everybody else, and it must be different. So make it different.
Jess1, your name drives me nuts.
In some circumstances, like Roto13 or maybe Nik0tine, I seem to be able to accept it. But I don't like it. I don't think it helps. I think it's a mess.
(SPOILER)Numbers are messy. That's the only bottom line and anybody who tries to defend it is WRONG!
Numbers make you look n00bish, especially when tacked onto the name of a character from something. Although there are times when "Psi" isn't long enough for a site I'm joining, forcing me to choose between "Psi300" or "ReloadPsi". Normally the latter, but it depends where I am.
I hate making usernames with numbers. It normally looks gross in my opinion. There have been exceptions, but not many.
If you really want to know why there's a number in my name, it's because I've used this name EVERYWHERE since I was eleven. I first used it for popmail (back when it was free) and of course Jessica was taken, so my uncle suggested Jesse1. I've used it for four years, and now I'm going to see if I can't change it to Jessweeee♪
(hopefully, I can use an eighthnote in my name x.x)
And until you change your name to the very mature sounding Jesseweeee(I don't know how to make the note), your name will seem silly, noobish and childish because of the out of lace 1.
Sorry kiddo.
