Tips for a name that sticks
15 characters is the wall
X handles max out at 15 characters with letters, numbers and underscores. Shorter is better — it leaves room when people quote and tag you.
Handle ≠ display name
Your @ can be practical while your display name carries the personality. Don't burn characters on jokes better told in the display name.
Say it in a sentence
Handles get read aloud in 'follow me at…'. If yours needs spelling out twice, it is costing you followers.
Frequently asked questions
What are the rules for X usernames?
Up to 15 characters: letters, numbers and underscores. No spaces, and the words 'admin' or 'twitter' can be restricted. The handle must be unique.
Can I change my X handle later?
Yes, in account settings — but mentions of your old handle stop pointing at you, so it is better to settle early.
Are these handles free to use?
Yes, unlimited and free. Availability is first-come, first-served, so have a couple of backups from your shortlist.
