When you make a social media account, you have to pick a name, called a “username” or “handle.” Sometimes, choosing the right name is hard. You might not have any ideas, the name you want is already taken, or the names you think of just don’t stand out. If finding a TikTok username is tough, here are some easy tips:
- Choose a unique name that isn’t too close to others.
- Pick a name that’s easy to remember and type it into TikTok’s search.
- Don’t make it complicated. Avoid using lots of symbols or wrong spellings because the name you want is gone.
- Make sure it’s simple to spell so people can easily find you on TikTok.
- Use the same name on TikTok as you do on other social media if you’re known there. This helps your friends find you more easily.
Why is having a unique TikTok username important?
It’s important to build a brand that stands out. As I mentioned before, this makes it easy for people to remember your username and find you later, especially if they know you from other social media sites.
Also, keep in mind that you can’t use a TikTok username that’s already taken. Sometimes, adding an underscore might work, but just adding something random at the end to keep your original username idea may not be the best approach. It can make it hard for people to remember your username and confuse you with other accounts.
I have a TikTok username – now what?
First of all, congratulations! (If you’re still struggling to choose a TikTok username, keep reading.) And secondly, it’s time to start planning and sharing your content to grow your followers.
Growing your followers will take some time, but the key is to consistently post and interact with your audience in the comments.

TikTok username FAQs
What is my TikTok username?
Your username is your TikTok account’s handle. It begins with the symbol @ and is also part of the web address for your account, like mine, which is www.tiktok.com/@karolinakurcwald.
It’s important to know that your username is different from the name that appears next to your videos as people scroll through their For You Page (FYP). Your username and name don’t have to match exactly (for example, your username can complement your name or vice versa).
TikTok usernames can have up to 24 characters and can include:
- Letters
- Numbers
- Periods
- Underscores
However, emoji characters are not allowed.
Where can I find my username?
- At the top of your TikTok profile, your TikTok account link will show your username.
- But remember, when people watch your videos, they will see your name, not your username.
- It’s important to know that your name and username can be different from each other.
