Default random name
It would be nice to have a random name by default, and then be able to change the name.
You mean a random name that is inserted in the initial setup window, so the user only need to click ok instead of inserting something? Anyway, you can change the name afterwards in the settings menu.
Better not to ask anything, just to start the application with a random name, then if you want to configure the name manually, it can be changed in the settings
The random name generated (only once) at the start should be different in each device. @wuniversales please also specify, what will that random name consist of.
consider random name to be English pronounceable instead of garbage block of consonants like fsdvgfdsnhmm

@iamvasuh You could, for example, generate a hash based on the current time and date. If you want the word to make sense, it would be more complicated ...
This seems more memorable @ToEatFreshBabies

I have seen services before today, and I quite like this idea, that the username is constructed by using adjective-randomword
This generates usernames such as; lame-bungalow, alarmed-horse, exclusive-winks, sugary-spider. And a really simple way to do that would be to just have the placeholder text on this screen be generated from the word list:
The "problem" here is that when you want to translate the app and support multiple languages then you have a lot of work on your hands. Or just don't suggest usernames for non-english languages.
For now I would postpone this change as there are other pressing matters (that is a working/stable app).
The Cancel button is now labelled Skip and then will generate a random name.
