• Medium: balanced length, typically 10-15 characters

Click the button to select. The active option shows with a colored background.

Prefix & Suffix
Add custom text to the beginning or end of every generated username:

Combining Prefix & Suffix
You can use both at the same time:

This is great for creating branded or team-related usernames.
Character options
Three checkboxes control which special characters can appear in your usernames:
Include numbers
When checked (default is ON), usernames may include numbers (0-9).
Examples with numbers: CoolPlayer42, Night7Wolf, Gamer2026

Special chars
When checked (default is OFF), usernames may include special characters like dots, hyphens.
Examples with special chars: Cool.Player, Night-Wolf
Note: Most platforms don't allow special characters in usernames. Keep this OFF unless you know your platform supports them.
Underscores
When checked (default is ON), usernames may include underscores (_).
Examples with underscores: Cool_Player, Night_Wolf_Gaming
Examples without: CoolPlayer, NightWolfGaming
Note: Underscores are widely supported and help separate words clearly.
