Where you want the name
Instagram, Threads, X, Twitch and Reddit don't show it to a checker, so their chip links to the profile page. If the page is missing, the name is free.
Get your names
A Instagram username is how people find you, tag you and remember you. The good short ones go first.
This free Instagram username generator writes ideas for your name, brand or niche, keeps every one within Instagram's rules, and scores it out of 100.
Here's how to use it, Instagram's username rules, and what makes a name work there.
What is a Instagram username generator?
A Instagram username generator is a tool that writes Instagram usernames from your name, brand or what you do.
Mine keeps each name within Instagram's rules, checks where it's free, and scores it for what the account is for.
Instagram username rules
Instagram usernames are up to 30 characters, with letters, numbers, periods and underscores, per Instagram's own help pages. Every name here follows those rules, and a name that breaks one shows it.

A name that breaks a platform's rules is capped at 40, since you can't register it there. A platform I can't check counts as half free until you open its chip and see.
How I check if a name is free
For GitHub, YouTube and TikTok, I read the profile page itself: a missing page means the name is free. For .com, I ask the registry that runs .com.
Instagram, Threads, X, Twitch and Reddit hide profiles from checkers, so their chip opens the profile page for you. If the page says it isn't there, the name is free.
Tips for a good Instagram username
Keep it short and easy to say out loud, since people will hear it in videos and podcasts before they read it.
Use the same name on every platform you can, so a fan who finds you on Instagram finds you everywhere else.
