How it works
If base text is provided, it is cleaned, lowercased, and split into parts, then joined using your selected separator style. If no base text is entered, two random words are drawn from a word list and combined. The compact style removes all separators and joins parts directly. Optional numeric suffixes append a random two-digit number to help avoid conflicts on platforms where your first choice is taken. All output is stripped of unsupported characters before formatting.
Practical example
You are setting up a developer account and want a clean username based on your name. Enter "John Smith", choose dot style, and enable numeric suffix. The result might be "john.smith42". Switch to underscore for "john_smith42", or compact for "johnsmith42" — useful on platforms that do not allow dots.
