What makes a good Pinterest username
- Short: easier to remember, type and fit on a business card.
- Easy to say: avoid odd spellings and long strings of numbers.
- Brand-ready: ideally the same name you use on Instagram, TikTok and your website.
- Lasting: avoid years and trends that will date it.
Tips
- Put your keyword in the display name, not only the username, since the display name shows in search results.
- Claim it everywhere. Once you pick a name, reserve it on your other social apps too.
- Style your profile. For a decorative display name, try the Pinterest font generator, and write your About section with the bio generator.
