Choose your options, then generate a YouTube username.
Built at random from word lists for this topic, so some will fit better than others.
Every YouTube channel has a unique @handle that appears in Shorts, comments, mentions and your channel URL (youtube.com/@yourhandle). It is separate from your channel name, but the two should match as closely as possible. Use the generator to find handles, and see our YouTube channel name ideas for the display name.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a YouTube name and a handle?
Your channel name is the display name shown on your channel. Your handle is the unique @username used in URLs, comments and mentions.
Can I change my YouTube handle?
Yes, in YouTube Studio. Your old handle may be released, so update links in your bio and descriptions.
How long can a YouTube handle be?
Between 3 and 30 characters.
Is it safe to use my real name in a username?
For public gaming and social accounts, it is safer not to use your full real name, birth year or location. Pick a nickname or themed word instead.
