Should I use underscore in my Twitter name?
Avoid numbers and underscores: Twitter handles should be as simple and memorable as possible. Adding numbers and underscores makes your username more complex and harder for followers to find.
Are underscores in usernames bad?
Underscores. It’s bad because they’re hard to say — try spelling out “my underscore company” instead of “my company”. They can also become illegible when linked (it’s not easy reading an underlined underscore). Many other social networks don’t allow underscores, so you won’t be able to use the same username elsewhere.
Should you use underscores in usernames?
