Tips
Easy to type
Avoid hard spellings and lots of underscores or periods. People should be able to find you after hearing your name once.
Hint at your topic
A username that suggests what you post helps new visitors know what to expect.
Keep it the same everywhere
Try to use the same username on every network so people can find you anywhere.
Your display name is searchable too
Your profile name can be different from your username. Use it for your main keyword, like “Maya | Vegan Recipes”.
Questions
Are these usernames available?
We can't check that. Search each one on Instagram before you decide, and try a small variation if it's taken.
What characters can an Instagram username have?
Letters, numbers, periods and underscores, with no spaces. The ideas here follow those rules.
Can I change my Instagram username later?
Yes, but people who know your old name may not find you. Pick one you'll be happy with for a long time.
What should I do once I have a name?
Set up your bio and start posting. With PilotPost you can plan and schedule your first weeks of posts in one go.
