200+ Creative Instagram Name Ideas and Handles for Insta-Fame
How to Come Up With a Good Instagram Name
Looking for an instagram handle that will get you tons of followers? Look no further. Here's a list of 200+ original usernames . . . or enjoy mixing and matching name ideas with the Instagram name generator. This article also includes tips for picking a name that's original and attention-grabbing, a name that's sure to get you followers. We've included names for professionals/businesses, musicians, outdoorsy-adventurous types, activists, foodies, personal profiles, etc. Here are some pointers:
- Who's your audience? Is your IG only for family and friends (if so, consider a nickname)? Is it for professional use—journalism, music, activism, etc. (consider a serious name).
- What's the purpose of your IG account? In other words, what is the theme of your instagram account? Are you a foodie? Fashionista? World traveler? Pick a name that reflects this.
- Do your research. Before confirming your name selection, make sure something similar is not taken. Let's face it—that would be a bummer.
- Make sure it can't be misread. Say the name outloud and see if people in your circle get its meaning. If it can be misread, that may lead to problems.
- Pick something with a good lifespan. You want a name that will last, not one that you will outgrow. So, make it special and give it a lot of thought.
Happy searching!

AUTHORThanks that's very kind of you to offer. Seems like a fun one!
I think it is your niche more than mine. I have a backlog of other material to write about. You go ahead if you want.

I was going to suggest you write it but maybe no interest? Up to you! I'd love to as well. (:
I look forward to reading it!
- AUTHOR
that's a great article name topic!
I struggled to come up with a pen name for Hub Pages, so I could have done with a similar list then.

Thanks Liz—this was a harder one to come up with since a lot of the names can be abstract. I hope there's something for everyone!
This is an interesting compilation. I shall refer to it if I feel the need to set up an imstagram account.
