Names That Get Strangers Talking

When everyone is a stranger, your chat name does the introducing. A name that hints at something you like, such as a sport, a band or a city you love, gives people an easy opening line. Avoid anything that gives away your real identity: your surname, your workplace or the handle you use on social media.

Names can be 3 to 20 letters, numbers or underscores. If you enjoy it and come back, a free account stops anyone else using your name. Plenty of regulars started as one-off visitors to our free chat room.

Stuck for a first message? Ask about something already on screen rather than typing "hi". The same trick works in the online chat lobby and every other room.

Like all our talk to strangers, this room is free for everyone. Keep personal details private and use the block and report buttons if anyone bothers you.
