Dribbble username checker for designers

Dribbble is where designers show their work, and your profile URL (dribbble.com/yourname) often goes straight onto a CV or portfolio. This Dribbble username checker tells you whether a name is free in real time, with no Dribbble account needed.

Dribbble usernames are 2 to 30 characters and can use letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores. Spaces and periods aren't allowed. Changing your username later breaks any links you've shared with clients or recruiters, so check availability before you commit.

Clients look for designers across Dribbble, Behance, Instagram and personal websites. Every search also shows the same name on other platforms and whether the matching .com or .design domain is free for your portfolio.

Tips for a Dribbble username

  • Use your name or studio name. Clients search for people, not puns.
  • Keep it identical to your portfolio domain and Instagram.
  • Avoid underscores if you'll say the name out loud in pitches.
  • Short handles look cleaner in case studies and email signatures.
  • Check the .com and .design domains for a matching portfolio site.

How to change your Dribbble username

Open Account Settings on Dribbble and update your username. Your profile URL changes with it, so update your portfolio site, CV, LinkedIn and email signature. Shots, followers and likes stay on your account. Because clients often find you through that link, it's worth picking a name you'll keep.

Designer name ideas and portfolio domains

Most designers use their own name or a studio name on Dribbble, Behance and Instagram. If the exact name is taken, adding studio, design or works usually reads well. A matching .com or .design domain makes a strong portfolio address. Use the brand name generator for studio ideas, then check the domain.

Own the name everywhere, not just on Dribbble

A handle only works inside one app. The domain is the part you keep — it carries your site, your email and your link in bio even if you move platforms. Names that are free on Dribbble today are usually free as a .com too, and that stops being true fast.
