Check if a Reddit username is available before creating your account. Instantly see if a handle is taken and view basic account info.
Press Enter or click Check. You can check multiple usernames.
Your Reddit username is permanent and shapes how every community perceives you. A good name opens doors. A bad one closes them before you even post.
Avoid your business name directly
Accounts with obvious brand names are treated with more suspicion by moderators and community members.
Use a first name plus a descriptor
"alexcoder" or "marcusgrowth" reads as a person, not a company, which earns more trust.
Keep it short and memorable
Under 15 characters. Long usernames with underscores and numbers look like spambots.
Avoid numbers at the end
"startup_founder123" signals the name was already taken and you settled. Pick a cleaner variation.
Pick something you can stay with
Reddit usernames are permanent. Choose something that works for your brand long-term.

Everything you need to know about Reddit usernames and availability.
Enter the username in the tool above and click Check. If the account does not exist on Reddit, the username is available. If it exists, we show you basic account stats so you can decide if it's worth choosing a variation.
No. Reddit usernames are permanent and cannot be changed once set. This is why checking availability and choosing carefully before creating an account is so important, especially if you are creating an account for business or marketing purposes.
A good marketing username is memorable, neutral, and not too obviously promotional. Avoid names with your company domain, underscores, or numbers if possible. Names that sound like a real person (first name + hobby or profession) tend to get more trust from Reddit communities than obvious brand accounts.
When a Reddit account is deleted, the username is typically not made available for new registrations. Reddit keeps deleted usernames reserved to prevent impersonation. So if a username shows as "not found", it may be deleted but still unavailable.
