Why can't we have 4 letter usernames? 😭

I know the line has to be drawn somewhere, but I feel like that somewhere should be 3, not 4. I think there are so many obvious 4 letter usernames, like Sage, Sela, Luna, Zero, Dawn, Nova, Meli, Lily, Faye, Nyxx, Neko, Lina, Loki, Cleo, Kora, Vega etc.

Double down on the first letter. The odds are that if 4 letter user names were allowed, they'd all have been taken years ago and you'd still have to enter extra characters in order to use the one you want anyway.

@Jayciedubb My suggestion is not to have had them in the past, my suggestion is to get them now. 🤔

PS. My old 5 letter username Fable is still available. SW is tiny compared to other websites.

@Saage ok. ..what's the plan? I say why so many still? Why not make it 3 characters, that way i can be the real me, jcw 😁

@Jayciedubb I mean honestly there are good usernames with 3 letters too, I certainly wouldn't be against that. At two letters however, it's no longer a name imo.

My plan is:

Step 1: Complain in SW Suggestions.

Step 2: Devs see my formal complaint and change 5-letter limit to 4-letter limit.
