So normally, I can make a good guess with Japanese usernames. However, 2号 is leaving me utterly stumped in how to read it as a name. Does anyone else know how to?

That's an ordinal indicator meaning 2nd or number 2. I think you can romanize it as "ni-gou".

Sounds good! I know how counter kanji work (and was pretty sure this was one of them). I just wasn't sure how to read it. Thank you so much!
