Snapchat Username Generator

Making a Snapchat username sounds pretty simple in theory, but there are a few ground rules to consider before you get started.

• Keep it short. Snapchat usernames can’t be more than 15 characters long, so don’t drag yours out! Be concise and opt for something short, sweet, and snappy.
• Pick something simple. The easier your Snapchat username is to remember (and spell), the better! So don’t overcomplicate things; aim for clarity and simplicity.
• Check your username’s availability. You don’t want to get attached to a username and then discover it’s taken. When you come up with something promising, enter it into the username field of Snapchat’s account creation; it’ll automatically tell you if the username is available or taken.

Now, let's go through some tips so you can create the best Snapchat username possible. While we’ve got plenty of ideas for you in the generator above, you can always tweak and personalize them further to suit you specifically. Consider the following tips when making (and finalizing) your username:

• Use initials or special numbers. Your initials (or first name) are a no-brainer for a username, but you can also add numbers that are meaningful to you—like lucky numbers, a graduation year, birth year, or a year something major happened in your life.
• Incorporate nicknames. Rather than use your plain old first name, you could shorten it or use a nickname your friends call you by instead.
• Have fun with your last name. Instead of using your first name, try doing something creative with your last name (like “TheCoolSmith”) or middle name.
• Mention an interest or hobby. If you’re athletic, try a username like “CarlytheRunner.” If you like art, your username could be “Paint_Queen03.” Play around and see if you can come up with a hobby-oriented username.
• Add numbers or underscores. If your originally chosen username isn’t available, you don’t have to give up on it entirely. Just add a number or underscore to it—or, if your name is in it, shorten it to a nickname or initials.
• Avoid difficult words and negativity. There aren’t a lot of mistakes you can make when creating a username, but it’s always important to make sure your username isn’t offensive in any way. No crude language or symbols!
• Be creative and original. Try different combinations of words, numbers, and symbols until you come up with something unique to you. Just remember that your username as a whole should be memorable, so include things that have a specific meaning to you (rather than random numbers or symbols). You’ll have your username in no time!
