How do you make your IGNs?

Title basically says it all. Do you get some kind of inspiration, or do you just make it up randomly?
Personally, I just put together 2-3 random words that sound cool together. Examples: PaleCrows, UnrealStars.

Think of 2 words and slam them together.

Live+Cash= LiveCash
Naive+Love= NaiveLove
Value+Meals= ValueMeals
Toilet+Sauce= ToiletSauce

Use words that could be related to the class and translate them into other languages like French, Italian, and Latin. I now also look at the words in the bottom in Google Translator.

I look up names foreign to the United States.

Or, think of something that is a tryhardingly-cute-sounding henehoe IGN and add random X's, ii's, or x3's because it looks sho kawaii desu. *_*

Ex.
- x3PandaGirl
- iiCuteAngelx
- AyumiSanx3
- xBbyRena

etc., etc...

I really do try to make good, original, IGN's. But most of the time it is always taken.

After countless hours of trying to make up a good IGN, I give up and just type in random X's with "cute" sounding nicknames.

I usually use r+n and make a name like rnilo, rniguel, or mitchell. ect. ect.
Or Ill think of the class and find something that resembles it.
For instance
Phantom-Agilities
DemonSlayer-Dreadfulness(means thoughts of death)
Mercedes-Ceremonial(Queen of elves, blah blah)
Mihile-Millennium
Mech-Synchronized

_aeyet (Faeyet, Haeyet, Laeyet, Saeyet, Raeyet)
_ _ ileen (Hoileen, Suileen, Siuleen)
or a random Chinese/Japanese word that fits the class (ex. hyoteki (target) for my MM; Faeyeat (flying wings) for my paladin )

I use the name "useless" because I am a noob at choosing a name.

I get them from whatever video game/novel I'm obsessed with at the time; my Aran's IGN came straight out of Mass Effect.

I make IGNs after neat things I learned, or from a few memories here and there.

I wait for the name-giving Basil threads and I ask politely. I got the name NoLooking
Or...
I throw in a bunch of random asian words (either Korean or Japanese) and try to make them sound nice. If by all means that fails, I switch to Latin and just mix up a few words or something.

I just make one or two words (usually two) that mean something to me. Example: GreenDaBaDee (because I like Eiffel 65)

I usually follow the structure of ADJECTIVE+NOUN, very much like StyledArrow and MetalShackle.
Sometimes I get igns that are NOUN+NOUN, but only if they actually exist, like FashionStyle.
If I'm really desperate, I use V+NOUN/v+ADJECTIVE, but it has to be nice sounding, like vBlossoms or vRebellious.

This ign was from when I was little LOL. But now, I reserve one word IGNs and use them, too many igns to run out.

I spend countless hours looking through the dictionary in order to find a 1-word IGN I can use.
