English term or phrase: weird chick
i just want to come up with a screen name that means weird girl.
jessica
hennako
Explanation:
hen = weird/strange

'na' -> you need it between 'hen' and the thing 'hen' is referring to

ko = child or girl

I put "hen na ko" together into "hennako" (with no spaces) because you said you want a screen name. But spelled like this, it might not be understood immediately. (If you say it out loud, though, it would be understood.)

If you want the meaning to be clearer, you could write "hen_na_ko"

But there are many other terms you could use to say this...
