Ready to see a list of fun, unique, creative Instagram username ideas?
If you need help coming up with a username idea for your account, just let me know what your account is about in the comments below. We can brainstorm together.
Let’s start.
Your Instagram username is even more important in 2021.
This is because Instagram pays attention to the keywords in your username.
New followers can find you thanks to your username.
And if you want to become an influencer, brands can also find you thanks to your username.
If you cannot use all the keywords you want in your username, that’s okay.
You can add the keywords in your Instagram name instead. They count as keywords too.
Before I show you fun Instagram username ideas, here are ways you can customize your username.
- Use underscore (like @this_example)
- Use full stops (like @this.example)
- Use numbers (like @thisexample001)
You can also use words like:
- “The” (like @the.preview.app)
- “My” (like @myhomesweethome)
- “Your” (like @yourfashionpassion)
- “Let’s” (like @letsgetfit)
- “Club” (like @yourfashionclub) to create a community account
- “Story” (like @myfamilystory)
You can also combine words based on:
- Your name (Alex)
- What your account is about (food)
- What you are like (friendly)
- What you like
- Any other important words you want to use
If I follow these tips, my username could be:
- @thefriendlyfood
- @alex_thefriendlyfoodie
Pretty cool right?
Your turn to try different combinations for your account.
Keep scrolling to get more ideas.
You will see we have used “full stops” and “underscores” in the username examples.
Feel free to use whichever one you prefer. You can also remove the full stop and underscore if you want to keep the words together.
Want to use your own name in your Instagram username?
But maybe it’s already taken?
Here are different words and ways you can use.
- Use words at the beginning like “miss”, “mr”, “ms” @mr_andrew
