You can use the linux command pwgen to generate usernames. With the right arguments, it generates almost pronouncable names of random syllables.
pwgen -A01 [<length> [<amount>]] is the general syntax. -A01 makes it so that you get all lowercase without numbers and one username per line. The <length> parameter lets you choose how many characters your username should have and the <amount> parameter lets you choose how many usernames it should suggest.
Example: 5 usernames with the length of 10 characters:
I wrote code for that before, for generating file names in a utility application, and I don’t know about you, but it surprised me how easy that was / how perfectly fine the results were.
I always thought the big webpages with such name generators had sophisticated algorithms to make the adjectives reasonably sensible with the nouns and then huge word lists to ensure randomness and such.
And then I did it with like 20 animal names and 30 adjectives, and all I ended up fine-tuning was to swap out a few of the words for more interesting ones (e.g. dog -> chihuahua, good -> fabulous).

This is pretty clever already :D

I pick up song name that is currently playing. now would be OneLionsRoar :)
theres an xkcd password generator for the terminal or a site that does a similar thing here
I use my password manager (keepass) to generate a “phrase” and use that as name.
