From an idea to a handle

  1. Make it personal. Enter a nickname, your name, or a brand. An optional word can point to your work or interests.
  2. Choose a style. Try balanced names, simple names, exactly four letters, or exactly four characters. Short modes derive a few candidates from your input; they do not search every possible handle.
  3. Keep a shortlist. Select and copy ideas, or move them to the bulk workspace. Generating or copying never triggers a live query.
  4. Confirm in Instagram. A generated idea is not a reservation. No automatic sign-up, name change, or claim is performed.
