How to choose a great nickname or username
Your nickname is more than just a random handle—it’s the identity people remember when they see you in a game lobby, on social media, or in a chat. A good username feels comfortable to repeat, easy to type, and fun to carry for a long time.
1. Match the vibe with the platform
If you’re choosing a name for a professional space like LinkedIn or a portfolio, go for a cleaner, more professional option. For gaming or anonymous profiles, you can push into bold, funny or chaotic territory.
2. Keep it readable & pronounceable
Stylish symbols and special characters can look cool, but if your name becomes impossible to read, people won’t remember it. Try mixing one or two symbols with real words instead of replacing every letter.
3. Avoid sharing personal data
For public accounts, avoid real-world personal details like full names, birth years, addresses or school names. SmartNicknames.com is designed to help you stay expressive without oversharing.
4. Test it out loud
Say your nickname out loud a few times. If it feels good to say, chances are it will feel good to keep. If it feels awkward or too long, try shortening or simplifying it.
5. Check availability on your main platform
Our tool is great for ideas, but each platform has its own availability rules. Once you like a name, search it on your main app and adjust with underscores, dots, or numbers if it’s already taken.

SmartNicknames.com is a free nickname and username generator that helps you create cool, funny, cute, gamer and professional handles for games, social media, content platforms and more. Just tell us your style and we’ll do the brainstorming.
Is this really free to use?
Yes. The generator is free to use as often as you like. You don’t need to create an account, and your favorites are stored locally on your device using your browser’s storage.
Are the nicknames unique worldwide?

Can I use these nicknames for a brand or project?
Many users use our generator to explore brand or project name ideas. For commercial use, you should still do basic checks for domain availability, trademarks and existing brands in your region before finalizing.
