A perfect Steam name shows your sense of humor or your favorite games, and it reads well in a friends list. Steam names can change any time and players can share one, so many players pick a funny name, such as CertifiedCamper, and swap it often. A genre word tells friends what you play, such as Tactician for strategy fans. The table below shows each name style with an example name.

|---|---|---|
| Funny | A joke about your own skill | CertifiedCamper |

4 Quick Tips for Naming Your Steam Profile
- Have fun with it. Steam names change any time, so a joke name like QuestionableTactician costs nothing to try.
- Show your favorite genre. A strategy fan suits HumbleGeneral, and a survival fan suits SilentScavenger.
- Use spaces. Steam allows spaces, so Certified Camper reads like a title in the friends list.
