What makes a good Fortnite name
Short names are easier for friends to find and type. A name of two words, or one word and a number, reads well in the kill feed and in a lobby. Avoid your real name, your age and where you live, especially if you're young.
Our names stick to letters, numbers and at most one space or underscore, between 3 and 16 characters, which is the range most guides give for Epic display names. We can't check whether a name is taken; Epic does that when you save it. If it's gone, add your own word or a number and try again.
