Username Generator

Type a word or two you like and get ten handles built on them, in a clean, gamer, aesthetic or professional style, each checked against the published rules of the platform you name before it is shown. Instagram, TikTok, Xbox, Roblox, X and YouTube each have their own length band and character set, and a handle that one takes is often refused by another, so the list under the stage says how many of the ten would also pass everywhere else. Every handle is drawn with the browser's cryptographic random generator from your words and two bundled lists of everyday adjectives and nouns that hold no first names, surnames or brands. Nothing is uploaded, and whether a handle is still free is something only the platform can tell you.

Press space or More for another ten. A handle is only shown once it has passed the rules of the platform you chose; the list below says how many of these would also pass elsewhere.

The word lists are bundled (about 400 adjectives and 400 nouns) and never fetched. They hold no first names, surnames, brands or body parts, so nothing the tool adds can turn a handle into a real person’s name. Whether a handle is still free is something only the platform can tell you: check it there before you settle on one.

Common questions

Does it check whether a username is available?
No, and no generator running in your browser can. Availability lives on the platform's own servers, and the only way to know whether a handle is taken is to type it into that platform's sign-up or username field, where it tells you on the spot. What this tool does check is the rules: every handle shown has already passed the length and character rules of the platform you chose, so the ones it shows will not be refused for a stray dot, a second underscore or a character the platform does not allow. Copy the ones you like, try them on the platform, and press More or the space bar for another ten if they are all taken.
What rules does each platform have?
The rules under the stage are the ones the tool applies. Instagram: 1 to 30 characters of letters, digits, dots and underscores, with no dot at either end and no two dots in a row. TikTok: 2 to 24 characters of letters, digits, dots and underscores, no dot at the end. Xbox: 3 to 12 characters for the gamertag, letters, digits and spaces, starting with a letter; the tool uses no spaces. Roblox: 3 to 20 characters of letters and digits with at most one underscore, not at either end, and no dots. X: 4 to 15 characters of letters, digits and underscores. YouTube handles: 3 to 30 characters of letters, digits, dots, underscores and hyphens. With Any selected the loosest band applies, 3 to 30 characters of letters, digits, dots, underscores and hyphens, and each platform's row under the stage counts how many of the ten it would take.
Is it really random?
Yes. Every choice, which pattern to use, which of your words goes first, which adjective or noun fills the other slot and which two digits end a gamer handle, is drawn from crypto.getRandomValues, the browser's cryptographic generator, and mapped onto the list by rejection sampling rather than by a remainder, so no word is favoured over another. A candidate that fails the platform's rules is thrown away and redrawn rather than trimmed to fit, which is why the aesthetic style's trailing dot never appears on Instagram: only that style's other patterns get through. Press More or the space bar and the ten are drawn afresh.
Will it ever produce a real person's name?
Not from anything it adds. The two bundled lists, about 400 adjectives and 400 nouns, were written to contain no first names, no surnames, no brands and no body parts, and the tests that ship with the tool check every word against those lists. So a handle is always a phrase such as quiet.harbor or MossyLantern42, never a given name joined to a surname. The words you type are yours: if you type your own name the handles will carry it, so use a hobby, a colour or a favourite thing instead when you want a handle that does not identify you.
What do the four styles do?
Clean joins two lowercase words with a dot or with nothing, river.pixel or riverpixel. Gamer capitalises each word and adds two digits, wraps a single word in x, or joins two capitalised words with an underscore: RiverPixel42, xRiverx, River_Pixel. Aesthetic gives a trailing dot, drops the vowels from the second word (riverpxl) or adds a y to a single word. Professional is the clean pair only, always lowercase, and it never adds a digit, though a digit you type in a word of your own is kept. Whichever style you pick, the platform's rules come last: on Xbox, which allows no dots or underscores, the gamer style gives only the RiverPixel42 and xRiverx forms.
Why did a handle disappear when I changed the platform?
Changing the platform draws a fresh ten under that platform's rules, so the list is rebuilt rather than filtered. If you had a handle you liked, the rows under the stage are the quicker check: they say how many of the ten on screen each other platform would accept, and the Copy button on a row copies only the ones that pass there. Copy a handle you want to keep before switching, or paste it into the Words field so the next ten are built on it.

Handles are built from your words and the bundled lists, checked against each platform's published length and character rules, and drawn with the browser's cryptographic random generator. Whether a handle is still free is something only the platform can tell you.
