The nickname identifies your public profile: the address becomes nightify.me/member/nickname and it is the name other users find and follow you with. When you sign up you receive one generated from the first part of your e-mail (lowercase letters and numbers only, with a number added if it is already taken); if the account was created without an e-mail, the initial nickname is user, with a number added if it is already taken. You can replace it whenever you want.
