You can change it, if you want. Just go into settings.

Hey my account @BeingWhiteManIsC000L1488 is TOTALLY a legit account. And I am offended that you would say otherwise.

I know someone personally who has an account with that kind of name. I think it's what Twitter auto-suggests if you put in a common name with nothing to differentiate it.
-
While that's true, it's only a suggestion and you're free to change it. Of course I do wonder how many people bother to do so.

If you aren't paying attention or don't care... But those are also qualities of bots so

No, being incapable of caring is the quality of a bot

"How can we possibly ban every account with 1488 in the name? There's no algorithm that can solve for this"
-
but that would be so unfair to the half dozen people who were born on january 4th or april 1st and cant think of a name without numbers
