This name availability checker turns one name into 8 ready-made links: a .com search on Namecheap, plus the profile address on Instagram, X, TikTok, GitHub, YouTube, Reddit and Twitch. Open each one and you can see whether the name is taken.

It doesn't give a yes or no itself. That would need each platform's own API, so it hands you the exact pages to look at instead. The name is lowercased, and anything other than letters, numbers, dots, underscores and hyphens is removed, so "Lunar Forge!" becomes lunarforge.

How to check name availability

  1. Type the name or handle you want.
  2. The links appear as you type. There's no button to press.
  3. Open each link in a new tab. A page-not-found error, or a domain marked available, usually means the name is free.
  4. If it's taken, try a variation: add a word, drop a vowel or swap a letter.

Which platforms it covers

Namecheap for .com domains, then Instagram, X (Twitter), TikTok, GitHub, YouTube, Reddit and Twitch. That's the full list. A missing profile page is a good sign but not a promise: some sites reserve names, hold on to names from deleted or suspended accounts, or have their own length rules. You only know for sure when you try to sign up.

Why check several platforms at once?

  • The same handle everywhere is easier for people to find and remember.
  • Finding out the .com is taken before you print anything saves money.
  • Clicking 8 links from one place beats typing the name into 8 search boxes.

Frequently asked questions

Does the name availability checker search live databases?

No. It builds links, and you open them to see the live result on each site. The tool doesn't query any platform's API or scrape anything.

Which platforms does it cover?

Eight: .com domains through Namecheap, plus Instagram, X, TikTok, GitHub, YouTube, Reddit and Twitch.

Can I check availability for a domain with a different TLD?

Not directly. The domain link searches the .com, but you can search other endings from Namecheap's results page.

What should I do if my preferred name is taken everywhere?

Try a short prefix or suffix or a different spelling, or run some ideas through the username generator and check the ones you like.
