Username Generator
Get unique usernames that fit the platform you are signing up for. Add your name or a hobby, pick a style, and tap the names you like to keep them.
How to use the username generator
- Add your own word (optional). Type a name, nickname, or hobby and it gets mixed into each username.
- Pick your platform. The max length and allowed characters update to match, so every name fits.
- Choose a style. CamelCase (BraveOtter), lowercase (braveotter), under_score (brave_otter), or dot.case (brave.otter).
- Add numbers if you need them. Popular names are often taken, and two or four digits at the end help.
- Keep the ones you like. Tap a username to save it to your kept list, then copy them all at once.

Tips for a good username
Keep it short
Ten to fifteen characters is easy to remember and fits every platform, including X and Xbox.
Make it easy to say
If you can say it out loud without spelling it, friends can find you.
Skip personal details
Leave out your full name, birth year, school, or city. A random word pair is safer.
Use one name everywhere
Pick a name that is free on all the sites you use, so your profiles match.
How the usernames are made
Each name pairs one of 302 hand-picked adjectives (swift, cosmic, velvet) with one of 267 animals, foods, and objects. That makes 80,634 combinations before numbers and styles. The adjectives are an allowlist: no words about religion, ethnicity, bodies, or health, and no noun pairs with a rude double meaning. Names are picked with your browser's cryptographic random number generator, and nothing you type leaves your device.

Ten to fifteen characters works almost everywhere. X and Snapchat allow 15, Xbox gamertags 12, Instagram 30. Pick your platform and the generator keeps every name within its limit.
How many usernames can it make?
302 adjectives times 267 nouns is 80,634 combinations, before numbers and styles. With numbers it is millions.
Are the usernames safe for kids?
Yes. The adjectives come from a hand-checked allowlist, and nouns with a rude double meaning are removed.
What makes a good gaming username?
Short, easy to say, and free on every platform you play on. Pick the Xbox or Fortnite setting so every name fits, and keep numbers off for a cleaner look.
