How to change your WhatsApp profile name
Go to Settings, tap your name or profile photo, tap Name, paste a stylish name from the tool above (up to 25 characters) and save. Contacts who saved your number still see the name they saved; everyone else sees your profile name.
IN SHORT: Group info, tap the name, edit, OK. Description and permissions are on the same screen.
Stylish WhatsApp Names and Nicknames
A stylish WhatsApp name is your profile name written in Unicode fonts and symbols, like ๊ง๐๐ต๐ฒ๊ง, แดนแดฟแญสแดแดแดขแด or โก แดสแด๊ฑสแด โก, within the 25-character limit. Type your name in the tool at the top and open My profile name; every style shows its length out of 25.

WhatsApp nickname in a group
In groups, people who saved your number see their saved name for you, and others see your profile name. WhatsApp has also added member tags: a short label such as Anna's Dad or Goalkeeper that you can show in a group, and it can differ from group to group. A short stylish nickname from this page works well as a profile name in busy groups.
IN SHORT: style your profile name here, keep it under 25 characters, and use member tags for a per-group label.
WhatsApp Username Ideas
A WhatsApp username lets people message you without your phone number; it can be 3 to 35 characters of lowercase letters, numbers, periods and underscores, must include a letter, and cannot look like a web address. Open the @Username tab in the tool for ideas based on your name.
| Username | Length | Valid? |
|---|---|---|
| its.ali | 7/35 | Yes |
| ali.official | 12/35 | Yes |
| ali_07 | 6/35 | Yes |
| mr.hamza | 8/35 | Yes |
| ayesha.chats | 12/35 | Yes |

| www.ali | 7/35 | No, looks like a web address |
| ali.com | 7/35 | No, looks like a web address |
| ali khan | 8/35 | No, has a space |
To set it, go to Settings, then Account (or Profile), then Username, once the feature has reached your country. Usernames are not searchable, so only people who know your exact username can message you, and you can add a username key for extra privacy.
How to Pick a Good WhatsApp Group Name
Pick a group name that is short, says who the group is for, and has one emoji, so everyone can spot it in a long chat list.
- Put the key word first. Long names get cut off, so "Cousins Club ๐" beats "Our Amazing Cousins Club".
- Use one emoji, not five. One emoji makes the group easy to spot; many make it messy.
- Match the group's mood. Funny for friends, warm for family, clear for office and study.
- Ask the group. Shortlist three names from this page and run a WhatsApp poll.
- Add a group photo. A clear group icon or a group photo makes the chat even easier to find.
