Discord Username Checker

Since Discord moved to unique @usernames, the good ones go fast. Check whether the handle you want is available, and whether the same name is open across the rest of your community’s presence, in one search.

Discord username rules

Length
2-32 characters
Allowed
Lowercase letters, numbers, underscores, and periods
Periods
No two periods in a row
Reserved
Can't contain 'discord', 'everyone', or 'here'

Under Discord's current system, usernames are unique @handles of 2 to 32 characters using only lowercase letters, numbers, underscores, and periods, with no two periods in a row and no use of reserved words like "discord", "everyone", or "here". This replaced the old name#1234 discriminator format, which means brand-friendly names are now scarce and worth grabbing early. Your server-specific display name is separate and far more flexible.

What to do if your Discord name is taken

If a Discord username is taken, a period or underscore variant such as "yourbrand.gg" style names (within the allowed characters) keeps it tidy. Because community members also find you on a site, X, and other apps, confirm the same handle is free across 45+ platforms with the search above before announcing it.

Frequently asked questions

What are the new Discord username rules?

Usernames are unique 2-32 character @handles using lowercase letters, numbers, underscores, and periods, with no consecutive periods and no reserved words.

What happened to the #1234 discriminator?

Discord retired the old name#1234 system in favor of unique usernames, so handles are now first-come, first-served.

Can I use capital letters in a Discord username?

No. Usernames are forced to lowercase. Your separate display name can use capitals, spaces, and more.

Should my Discord name match my other platforms?

Yes, communities span several apps. The tool above checks the same name across domains and 45+ platforms at once.
