What Are Kahoot Names?
When you sign up for Kahoot, you’ll make up a username that you use to log in to the site. This username is between 5-20 characters with no spaces and no special characters allowed except the underscore (_). It’s unique to you, which means that if someone else on the site is already using that username, you have to pick a different one.
BUT never fear! Your username won’t represent you on the site. That’s right: You have a display name to go with your avatar, and that’s how you’ll stand out to all your friends and family!
Will your display name express your personality? Make people laugh? Use your name? Show your smarts?
YOU decide. And for inspiration, we’ve compiled these helpful ways to figure it out. Take a look. You’ll definitely impress your friends with an awesome name for Kahoot!
Kahoot Names That Work
Before we dive in, there a few things you need to know:
- When you first join, your display name will be the same as your username.
- Your display name can be changed at any time. We’ll show you how later.
- Unlike your username, your display name doesn’t have to be unique. This means that if someone on Kahoot is using the display name you want, you can still use it!
- You can use 1-250 characters. That means your name can be as short as one letter or as long as 250 exclamation points!
- Feel free to use symbols, numbers, and spaces. Use capital and lowercase letters. Be creative!
Types of Kahoot Names
There are unlimited ways to make your Kahoot name stand out. Here are some ways people like to come up with them:
1. Use your real name
This doesn’t have to be boring. Have an uncommon or unique name? Mix it with another word to show who you are and how fun you can be! (NOTE: Want to use your real name? Stick with your first name and leave out your last name. Why? Because sometimes people online are able to find out other information about you if you use your full name. You just want to be careful!)
2. Use a popular expression
Knowing modern lingo makes you look cool. Show this in your username. Want to reference Spongebob? Your favorite line in a movie? A well-known phrase that represents you? The sky’s the limit!
3. Rhyme
Rhymes show your creativity. People will easily remember your username if you rhyme more than one word! For example, “Scary Gary,” “Fantastic Spastic,” or “Brian the Lion.”
4. Made-Up Words
Here’s a secret: Your rhymes don’t have to be real words! If you want to show your silly side, you could say something like “Amber Bamber” or “Octupus Sloctupus.”
5. Make it punny
Puns are fun ways to combine or misspell words to show more than one meaning. For example, “PartyPants” shows that you’re a party animal, but it also sounds like the popular phrase “SmartyPants.” Using puns is considered both funny and clever – and clever names show that you’re smart! What words can you mix up?
6. Describe yourself
Use a word that describes YOU. You could be “Crazy Kid,” “Honest Kitty,” or “Frank The Magnificent.” Show off your personality!
7. Use words that start with the same letter
Want your name to be memorable? Use words that start with the same letter. For example, “Awesome Anne,” “The Freaky Flower,” or “Callum the Clown.”
8. Show your Kahoot-ness
You’re on Kahoot to play games and make yourself super smart, so show that in your nickname! “The Learning Leopard,” Smart Kid,” or “Genius Jenny” are a few great examples!
9. Change a Letter in a Popular Word
You can pick a popular word, name, or phrase, and change a letter in it and voila! you have a creative or funny Kahoot name. For example, Prank Sinatra – Frank Sinatra, Buns N’ Roses – Guns N’ Roses, Bustin Bieber – Justin Bieber, Ghost Malone – Post Malone, Harshmello – Marshmello.

Dirty Kahoot Names
You can’t use words in your display name that are outright vulgar or inappropriate. Kahoot will censor certain words to keep it fairly kid-friendly. But if you want to be a little dirty, use subtle innuendo to get your point across.
Before looking at some examples, keep these things in mind:
- These display names are about adult things. They’re not for kids.
- Game hosts can decide to kick out anyone they feel is acting inappropriately, including anyone who uses an inappropriate name. You take on that risk if you use a naughty name.
- Kids use Kahoot. Have fun, but be aware of this! Dirty nicknames are best when you’re interacting with other adults who have the same sense of humor as you.
