How to Find a Cool Four-Letter Username

There are thousands of four-letter words in the English language, and you can use any one of them to create a username!

Simply find and browse a dictionary of four-letter words — there are several available for free online.

Feeling overwhelmed by those options? Consider these tips to pick a cool name:

Jot down a list of favorite words as you browse. Limit yourself to five or ten possibilities, and stop writing down words once you hit that limit. Setting a certain number of words to choose from can help you narrow in on the best/coolest words and find an option that you like more quickly.
Shorten a longer word. If none of the four-letter words in our list or the dictionary strike your fancy, take a few letters out of a longer word to create your username. There are a lot of examples of this in common English usage — “info” rather than “information,” “stat” rather than “statistic,” etc. — so don’t feel that you need to limit yourself to only words that are already four letters!
Look for unusual or unique words. While browsing lists of words, look for those that stand out to you because you’re unfamiliar with them. You might find a word with a meaning that you like, or an exciting synonym for a word you already know. Or, you can specifically look for a list of unusual four-letter words on the web.
Use an acronym. As with four-letter words, there are plenty of common four-letter phrases. Consider taking the first letter of each word in a phrase you like to create your username. A personal motto like “don’t worry, be happy” or “do what you love” can become a four-word username (in these cases, DWBH or DWYL).
