What the username generator does
This tool suggests usernames and handles when you need a name for a new game account, social profile, forum, streaming channel or email address. It shows up to 12 ideas at a time, made from random word pairs or built around a word you choose.
It helps when your first choice is taken, when you want a name that does not give away your real identity, or when you simply cannot think of one. Keep generating until something sticks.
How to use the username generator
- Choose a style: adjective and noun, built on your own word, or short.
- Type a word or name to build around (typing one switches to the “built on your word” style), then pick a format and a maximum length between 4 and 30 characters.
- Untick Add numbers if you want names without digits.
- Press Generate for a fresh set and copy the ones you like, or use Copy all for the whole list.
How the names are built
The adjective and noun style joins two words from built-in lists, such as a colour or mood with an animal, a landscape feature or a space word, giving names like SwiftOtter or LunarFalcon. The short style keeps no more than the first four letters of each word. When you build on your own word, the tool puts an adjective before it, a noun after it, “the” in front, or an ending such as hq, lab, club or official.
Your word is cleaned first: it is set in lower case, accents are removed and anything other than letters and digits is dropped, so “Zoë B.” becomes “zoeb”. With numbers on, a random number of up to three digits goes on the end. Names longer than your maximum are skipped, so a very low limit can give fewer than 12 results.
Questions
Are these names available?
UtiBox does not check. Popular names are often taken, so try a few on the site where you are signing up. Adding numbers or changing the format helps.
What makes a good username?
Easy to say and spell, not your full name or birth date, and the same across the platforms you use.
Which format should I pick?
Check the site’s rules first, as some do not allow dots or underscores. CamelCase makes longer names easier to read, though some sites store usernames in lower case anyway.
What next, once I have a name?
Give the new account a strong, unique password. The password generator can make one for you.
Is the word I type stored?
No. Names are generated in your browser.
