The term 'vanity url' is being used to describe any web page url that has your name, handle or anything you in it in place of those impossible to remember or type seemingly random strings of numbers.

And it is just wrong.

They're not "vanity urls!" Just because a person would rather have a name or handle or even just a word instead of a bunch of random numbers in their profile url to make it easier to remember, does not make them vain! Please, let's ditch that insulting term and call it "word url" or "name url" or something that doesn't judge everybody as vain for using a word in their url! I am not vain just because I'd rather my profile had something easier than just a ton of numbers!
