How do I come up with a good username?

Start with a word that means something to you, then pair it with a descriptive term or a style you like. Keep it short and say it out loud before deciding.

How do I find out if a username is taken?

Try to set it on the platform, or search for it there. If a profile loads, it is taken. Always check before you commit.

Should I use the same username everywhere?

When you can, yes. A consistent handle makes you easier to find and to tag across apps.
