I usually go to reddit and copy the first username that I see. Is there a quicker way to get a username like noun_adjective_number?

    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:

    $ pwgen -A01 10 5
aefaegeina
avubeixaik
shienaitie
jaethuekeg
yoreivoozu
