Snapchat username rules
Snapchat usernames must be 3 to 15 characters long, start with a letter and end with a letter or number. They can include letters, numbers and one of three symbols: a hyphen, an underscore or a period. Spaces and emojis are not allowed. Snapchat lets you change your username, but only once a year, so it is worth choosing carefully.
Styles of snap usernames
Cute names use soft words like peachyy, bunnyhop and cozycat. Cool names use short, confident words such as frostbyte, stormchaser and hazey. Funny names play with Snapchat itself: streakmaster, snapzilla, lostinsnaps. Doubling the last letter (peachyy, wavyy) is a popular trick when the plain word is taken.
Display name vs. username
Your display name is what friends see in chats and can include spaces and emojis. Your username is the unique ID people use to add you. Many people keep the username simple and put the fun part in the display name.
Finding an available Snapchat username
Because the limit is only 15 characters, short words are taken quickly. Combine two short words, add a single period or underscore, or add a meaningful letter. Avoid personal information like your full name and birth year on a public username. The free Snapchat username generator below only shows names that fit the 3 to 15 character rule.
