How It Works
The Username filter sanitizes your input to Discord's actual @username rules - lowercase letters, numbers, underscores, and periods only, 2-32 characters. Aesthetic, Gamer, and Symbols apply Unicode letter styling and decorative wraps instead, for the separate display name field, which accepts far more characters.
- Enter your desired handle or nickname.
- Pick Username for a valid @username, or Aesthetic / Gamer / Symbols for a styled display name.
- Click Generate Names and copy the result into the matching Discord settings field.
Use Cases
- Discord @Username (account handle)
- Discord Global Display Name
- Server Nickname
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the actual difference between a Discord username and a display name?
Your @username is your permanent, unique, searchable handle - lowercase letters, numbers, underscores, and periods only, 2-32 characters, no styling. Your display name is what people actually see in servers and DMs - it accepts spaces, capital letters, emoji, and full Unicode styling, and doesn't need to be unique.
Which filter should I use for which field?
Use the Username filter for Discord's @username field - it sanitizes your input to only the characters Discord accepts there. Use Aesthetic, Gamer, or Symbols for your display name field, which is the one that actually shows styled Unicode.
What's the difference between Aesthetic, Gamer, and Symbols styles?
Aesthetic uses soft script styling and light symbol framing like โง Shadow โง. Gamer applies bolder styling with gaming-adjacent tags like [AFK]. Symbols wraps your name in decorative marks like circled letters or stars. All three are for the display name field, not the @username field.
Will a styled name work in every Discord server?
Your global display name shows everywhere by default, but individual servers can override it with a server-specific nickname - if a styled name isn't showing up somewhere, check whether that server has its own nickname set for you.
Does this tool access my Discord account?
No. This tool only formats the text you type - it has no connection to your Discord account and cannot check live username availability or change anything without you manually pasting the result into your settings.
