Username Generator
Pick a style, add your name or a favorite word if you like, and get a list of username ideas that already follow the length and character rules of the platform you're signing up for.
These are ideas only – the generator doesn't look anything up, so check availability on the site before you sign up.

Tips for a username that lasts
- Use the same handle everywhere so friends and followers can find you on every platform; pick a platform with a short limit (like Xbox's 12) to make sure it fits all of them.
- Make it easy to say and spell. If you have to explain where the underscores go, it's too complicated.
- Avoid personal details like your full name, birth year or school.
- Think ahead. A name that's funny at 14 may not suit a portfolio at 24 – keep a professional handle separate.
Frequently asked questions
Does this check if a username is available?
No. The generator creates ideas in your browser and does not contact any website, so it cannot know which names are taken. Save a shortlist and try them on the sign-up page; adding a number or separator is a quick fix if your favorite is taken.
What are the username rules for each platform?
The presets use each platform's published limits: Xbox gamertags up to 12 characters; PlayStation 3–16 with letters, numbers, - and _; Discord 2–32 lowercase letters, numbers, _ and .; Instagram up to 30 with . and _; TikTok 2–24; X 4–15 with _; Twitch 4–25; Roblox 3–20 with one underscore; Reddit 3–20; Minecraft 3–16. Rules can change, so the site has the final say.
How do I make a cool username?
Combine an adjective and a noun that suit you (ShadowFalcon), keep it short and easy to spell, avoid long strings of random numbers, and use the same name everywhere so people can find you.
Can I include my real name?
Yes, type it in the word box. For privacy many people use only a first name or a nickname rather than their full name, especially in games and public profiles.
What is leetspeak?
Leetspeak swaps letters for look-alike numbers, such as 3 for e, 0 for o and 4 for a, for example Sh4d0wW0lf. It is popular for gamertags but can make a name harder to read and type.
Is anything I type saved or sent?
Your settings and saved shortlist are kept in this browser's local storage only. Nothing you type is uploaded.
