How does the username generator work?

Our username generator combines adjectives and nouns from our curated word lists to create unique combinations. You can choose from random generation, name-based generation (which incorporates your real name), or interest-based generation (based on your hobbies). The tool also lets you customize separators, capitalization, length constraints, and whether to include numbers or special characters.

Can I customize the length of generated usernames?

Yes! You can set both minimum and maximum length constraints using the sliders in the generator. The default range is 6-20 characters, but you can adjust this to match specific platform requirements. Usernames that don't meet your length criteria are automatically filtered out from the results.

What are the different generation modes?

There are three generation modes: 1) Random Combination - creates completely random usernames by combining adjectives and nouns, 2) Name-based - generates usernames incorporating your real name with creative variations like reversed names, partial names, or names combined with words, and 3) Interest-based - creates usernames related to your hobbies and interests by combining your interest keywords with our word lists.

Can I save my favorite usernames?

Yes! Click the star icon next to any generated username to save it to your Favorites. All favorites are stored locally in your browser using IndexedDB, ensuring your data stays private and secure. You can access all your saved usernames from the Favorites page at any time.

How do I check if a username is available?

After generating usernames you like, use our Username Checker tool to verify availability across multiple platforms. The checker provides direct links to verify availability on popular platforms including Twitter, Instagram, GitHub, Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Twitch, and more. This saves time by allowing you to check multiple platforms from one place.

What do the memorability scores mean?

Memorability scores (rated 1-5 stars) indicate how easy a username is to remember. The score considers factors like length (8-15 characters is ideal), pronounceability, word familiarity, and the presence of repeating patterns. Higher scores indicate usernames that are more memorable and easier for others to recall when searching for you online.
