More often than not, the best way to hide is to simply blend in with the crowds – this also encompasses one’s choice for a username. It is relatively simple to make a single throwaway account – just come up with a username, and off you go – however, if one makes throwaway accounts often, the task of thinking of a unique, and non-identifiable username can become a challenge. I would argue that poeple would often resort to using a pattern employing small changes for all subsequent usernames. Such patterns can be identified to a specific user if all users have their own unique patterns.
How can one reliably generate many unique-but-normal, and non-pattern-identifiable usernames?

Yup that’s where my username came from

It does.
Random nicknames are not recommended, they are unique identifiers, it is better to use nicknames of famous people or movies, video games, etc., because it makes it difficult to find them on the web, especially if different ones are used on each site.

Or for even more work, use a password manager to generate a super secure password, and use that password as your username
I sometimes use MAC addresses as usernames.
Use a password generator in a password manager for the username AND password. Bitwarden is free.
Use a temporary email for email signups. getnada.com works fine, but so do many others.
Skiff is great. They even generate an @random.maskmy.id so you can type anything before @. It’s nothing new but great since you can set 5 static aliases also.

Good usernames are Google, Yahoo or Barrelroll, this is fun when someone searches for you by nickname

English word + four numbers
I usually just use a fake name generator to create a name and use it as a username this takes care of my inability to think of random usernames, birth date and other stuff that most websites these days ask. And it also makes me look like another dumb idiot and not a l33t haxor.
I use SimpleLogin for email alias, and username usually has to be associated with email address. So I just use whatever SimpleLogin generates for me
May not be popular….
But Apple can use hide my email, similar to Bitwarden.
So there’s another option
