How to Choose the Perfect Apex Legends Username (240+ Cool Name Ideas)
Are you ready to become a legend in Apex Legends? Before you start dominating the Outlands, the first step is crafting the perfect username to strike fear into your opponents. In this ultimate guide, we‘ll cover everything you need to know about Apex Legends naming conventions, plus give you a huge list of awesome name ideas to inspire your inner creativity. Let‘s drop in!
Apex Legends Name Requirements: What You Need to Know
The naming system in Apex Legends works a bit differently depending on what platform you play on:
Steam: Your Steam profile name will automatically become your Apex Legends name. To change it, simply edit your Steam name and it will update in-game.
Origin: Your Origin username is used for Apex on PC. You can change this from your EA Account settings.
Console (PlayStation, Xbox, Switch): Your console gamertag becomes your Apex Legends name. Change it through your console‘s account/profile settings.
Pro Tip: Apex Legends names are NOT unique. This means multiple players can have the same username. So get creative and don‘t be afraid to think outside the box!
The Anatomy of an Awesome Apex Legends Username
While there aren‘t strict character or word limits, here are some general tips to keep in mind when brainstorming username ideas:
Keep it concise and memorable. You want a name that will stick in people‘s minds and is easy to read at a glance amid the chaos of battle.
Avoid random numbers and symbols. XxShadowHunter273xX might look cool but it‘s awkward to say and easy to forget. Keeping names short and simple is the way to go.
Incorporate your main or favorite legend. Let people know right away who you main, like WraithMain or BloodhoundBeast.
Add some flair with rhyming, alliteration, puns. Playing around with words makes names catchy and fun. Think PlasmaWrath, CryptoKhaos, FuseTheFirepower.
Get inspired by the lore, maps, weapons. Apex has a rich universe to draw from for names. How about ProwlerProwess, SkulltownSavage, or RE45Reaper?

How to Add Friends on Apex Legends Across Platforms
What good is an awesome username if you can‘t squad up with your buddies? Luckily, Apex Legends has crossplay enabled by default, allowing you to party with players on any platform. Here‘s how:
Go to the Friends menu from the lobby
Click "Find Friend"
Switch the search to "EA Account" and type in your friend‘s username
Send them a friend request and once they accept, they will show up on your Friends list
That‘s it! Now you can invite them to your squad and get ready to become champions together. Keep in mind that you can‘t join game chat with friends on a different platform. You‘ll need to use a separate program like Discord for voice chat.
Go Forth and Become a Legend!
Choosing your Apex Legends username is the first step in carving your legacy in the Outlands. Use the tips and suggestions we‘ve laid out here as a starting point, but don‘t be afraid to get creative and experiment. Remember, your name doesn‘t have to be super serious or have some deep meaning. It can be funny, intimidating, or just downright absurd. The most important thing is that it feels right to you.
So equip your favorite legend, ask your squad if they‘re ready to become champions…and make sure those randoms know your name after you wipe the floor with them. See you in the arena, legend!
