As far as I can tell, there are two systems for meaningful names (as opposed to "arbitrary" ones like phone numbers or 4chan IDs):
1. A first-come-first-serve system like Twitter. I'd list drawbacks but this comment section is full of them.
2. A lease system like domain names, whose drawbacks are best explained in this tweet by @devonzuegel:

Does anyone know of another way to do meaningful names?
