Instagram username rules
Instagram usernames can be up to 30 characters and can only contain letters, numbers, periods and underscores. You cannot use two periods in a row or end with a period. You can change your username in Edit Profile, and for 14 days you can switch back to the old one.
Tips
- Keep the joke short so it reads well in comments.
- Use periods to separate words in long phrases.
- Avoid jokes about real people or anything offensive — reported accounts can be restricted.
How to make your own funny Instagram username
Start with something true about you: a habit, a favourite food, a hobby or a personality trait. Then exaggerate it. If you love coffee, try caffeine.dependent. If you always oversleep, try allergic.to.mornings. If you have killed every plant you own, try plant.murderer. Self-aware humour works best because people instantly relate to it.

Funny vs. professional accounts
If you use Instagram for work or a business, a funny username might not fit. Many people keep a funny handle for their personal account and a cleaner one for their professional profile. You can add up to five accounts to the Instagram app and switch between them easily.
