    What a username generator does

    A username generator makes handle ideas from your name and a few words. This one builds up to 30 ideas in your browser from 40 fixed patterns, such as your first and last name with a dot, your initials, or your name with a word about your work. It then checks each idea against the published rules for Instagram, TikTok, X and YouTube.

    The tool checks the rules, not whether a name is taken. Each app keeps that list to itself. Pick two or three ideas you like, then search for each one in the app before you change your profile.

    Use the same handle everywhere if you can. People find you faster, and your link in bio address can match it: more.you/yourname.

    How to find a username

    1. Type your name or brand

      Use the words people already know you by. Add a word about your work for more ideas, for example design, music or coffee.

    2. Pick a style

      Short ideas are easy to type. Professional ideas use your full name. Creative ideas add words like hey, its or studio.

    3. Read the rule badges

      A green badge means the idea fits that app's published rules for length and characters. A red badge says what the app will not accept.

    4. Search it in each app

      Copy your favourite and search for it in Instagram, TikTok, X and YouTube. If it is free everywhere, claim it the same day.

    Username rules by app

    These are the rules the tool checks. A name that passes still has to be free in the app.

    Username questions

    Is this username generator free?

    Yes. The tool is free, needs no account and has no limit. It runs in your browser, so the names and words you type are not sent to More.You or saved anywhere. Make as many lists as you want and copy any idea you like.

    Does the tool check if a username is taken?

    No. Instagram, TikTok, X and YouTube do not share which names are taken, so the tool cannot see it. It checks each idea against the published rules for length and characters. Search your favourite ideas in each app to see if they are free, then claim the name the same day.

    How long can a username be?

    It depends on the app. TikTok allows 2 to 24 characters, X allows 5 to 15 and a YouTube handle allows 3 to 30. Instagram does not publish a length on its help pages. If you want one handle for every app, keep it to 15 characters or fewer, because X has the shortest limit.

    Which characters can I use in a username?

    Letters and numbers work on every app. Underscores work on Instagram, TikTok, X and YouTube. Periods work on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, but not on X. Hyphens work only on YouTube. So a name with only letters, numbers and one underscore fits all four apps.

    How do I pick a good username?

    Pick a name people can say out loud and spell after they hear it once. Use the name people already know you by, keep it short and avoid numbers that look random. Use the same handle on every app if you can, so people find you with one search.

    What if the name I want is taken?

    Add a word about your work, such as design or music, or a short word like its, hey or studio. A period or an underscore between two words also helps. Instagram's help pages suggest the same thing: add periods, numbers or underscores to find a name nobody uses yet.

    Can I use the same name for my link in bio?

    Yes. Claim more.you/yourname with the same handle you use on social apps. Your More.You page holds your links, products, events and bookings, and you put its address in the profile of every app. Every block type is on the Free plan.
