Username trend

Hi,

I've been playing a lot of puzzle race lately, and I've noticed that a lot of the players usernames have a similar pattern. They are comprised of tree words, often the last word a profession. Like "PerfectlyLameHarpist". Anyone know why this is a trend?

That isn't basically a trend going on, it's basically the Lichess usernames given to those particular "anonymous" players who haven't signed in but still want to take part in it, I also tried once and got a cool name, really absolutely fancy, stylish and good names suggested by Lichess!

This is correct

People who do race without an account are given a 3 word name, like chess kid.

Thanks, that explains it! Yeah, pretty cool. I might have to try as anonymous to see what name I get! :)
