Maybe just make it something simple to start with, and once you have gotten through the registration, you can change it to something else you like better ? Most of the people I see on there have what looks like a regular name. You can even be John Brunner on there, most likely. And then just do the @whatever for the rest of it. There are probably at least 200 people named Elon Musk on there, and they all write it a little different on the part with the @ sign. I think that if you can look at X on your laptop, you can maybe see how the names work better, since I can’t put a screenshot here. If you message me here, I can give you my email if that helps, and we can iMessage.
That's a good idea about using a simple name. I wonder if the problem with the name I chose is that it's already taken.
Well that's a bummer. You tried this today right, the last time you tried I mean? I have to go through my instructions sometimes 2 or 3 times. You may not have that issues, but I always seem to find some teenie direction I missed like putting in some "wrong" character. Did you use these instructions John? https://help.x.com/en/using-x/create-x-account I also used the desktop site X.com to sign up. I don't care for the phone app.
