When using the same name on social platforms is not an option?

[WebKitty]

WHen it comes to signing up to sites like Twitter, you typically want to use the same name or handle on each one to make it easier for people to find you. Problem is, they aren't always available. If this is the case, it is better to use similar ones, or should you alter the original to make sure they all match?

Many people are confused about social media platform names. Exact match social media platform names are not necessary at all. It's because your name matters more than your social media. Many businesses do not have their social media platforms, yet they are successful.

It's better to use the same name on all social media platforms to avoid confusion. If the name is not available. Then try to implement the same logo as profile pic in all your social media platforms. This would ensure better recognition by your users and you would be able to build a better fan base.

It's higher to apply the equal call on all social media systems to keep away from confusion. If the call isn't available. Then try and enforce the equal brand as profile % in all of your social media systems. This could make sure higher reputation with the aid of using your customers and you'll be capable of construct a higher fan base.

Actually sometimes what we want, is not what we usually get. we will love to used the ame name for our social media so as to be more easier for us and other people to find us but the policy on the various platforms may not allow due to some reasons of security.

I don't think it's necessary unless you want use the name as your business name. There are many business owner that use different name of different social media. But like you said the name you should be similar so, people can know it's still you.

There's always a problem of not using names that someone has already been using before. You might have to change the name you plan to use if it's already being used by someone

Social media is all about building a brand and that is why I just advise that you should look for a name that people can just easily remember and not something that sophisticated.

To avoid confusion, it is preferable to use the same name throughout all social media channels.
should the name not be in use.
then make an effort to use the same logo as your profile photo across all of your social media channels.
This would guarantee improved user recognition and allow you to increase your fan following.

i usually do alter them at some point in time to fit in if the intended user name i have in mind is not available, but it is quite stressful sometimes, especially when you operate multiple social media networks.

Actually the Various platforms are always conscious or concerned about your security which I believe through your name, alot will be scammed. so it's more better to abide by there policy.

I don't think if it's a problem to sign up the same on all your other social media platforms, at least it will provide easy access to you from people you know and those you don't know.

I just use a similar one or make something else. I have parked many social sites with my name/nickname/businesses so that no one else can take those names. If you can't get a certain name because it's used, you can always reach out to the person who owns the name and ask for it.

 

[Emmy]

All my social media handles accounts have the same name so I get a lot friend requests since it is easier for them to identify. Also I would like such to happen on website because this makes someone show legitimacy.

I can understand exactly how you are going to be frustrated if the name you wanted is already picked but you can also be creative and choose another one and that people can easily remember.

I have never encountred using same name across social media platforms I have the same username across social media platforms I use. If there was any problem I would have used numbers to make a unique name.

 

[Shahid987]

If using the same name on social platforms is not an option, there can be several reasons, such as:
The name is already taken
The name violates the platform's policy (e.g. contains profanity, is misleading)
The platform only allows real names
The name is too similar to another account that was previously banned.
In such cases, users can try using a variation of their name (e.g. adding a middle initial or number), or they can try using a different platform.
