How to pick the right name

Pair one soft word with one sweet thing

Most cute handles are two small words: a feeling (sleepy, tiny, fuzzy) plus a thing (otter, muffin, cloud). Swap either half to make one your own.

Keep your real details out

Skip your full name, birth year, school and town. A handle like hamster.hugs says plenty about you without giving anything away.

Say it out loud

If a friend cannot spell it after hearing it once, simplify it. Long strings of x's and swapped letters are hard to find.

Claim it everywhere

Search the handle on every app you use and grab it on all of them at once, so friends can find you with one name.

Save this list for later

Pin it to a naming board, or tap the heart next to any name to keep it in your favorites on this device.

Frequently asked questions

What is a cute username?

A cute username is a short, lowercase handle built from sweet words, like rainy.day.hopper, panda.nap or honey.toast.xo. Most pair a soft word with a food, a baby animal or something cozy.

What are cute usernames for girls?

Try bows.and.blooms, petal.princess, glitter.giggles or tulip.twirl. Flowers, bows and sparkle words work well, and none of them reveal your real name.

How do I check if a username is available?

Type it into the username field when you sign up or edit your profile; most apps tell you right away if it is taken. If it is, add a dot, an underscore or a small word like lil or the.

Is it safe to put my real name or birth year in a username?

It is safer not to. Usernames are public and easy to search, so leave out your full name, birth year, school and hometown, and use a nickname or a favorite thing instead.

How do I make my username cuter?

Add a soft word like tiny, sleepy, fuzzy or lil, use a food or a baby animal, or end with xo. A dot or underscore keeps two words readable, like duckling.waddle.
