Nickname statistics analytics and research (2019)

We made a research of all currently registered nicknames in our Global nickname registry to determine average indicators and consistent patterns, and to obtain global statistics of Internet nicknames.

Average Nickname Length

10.38 symbols

Distribution by Gender

Three quarters of nicknames (80%) are registered by men, and 20% are registered by women.

Composition of Nickname Characters

Half of all nicknames consist entirely of Latin alphabet characters (without numbers and special characters). 17% of nicknames contain numbers, 8% of nicknames consist entirely of Cyrillic characters, and 25% of nicknames are a mix of Latin and Cyrillic characters, numbers, and special characters.
