A costume tells people who you’re playing. A username tells them who you are underneath it.
This list splits by character type and style — heroes, villains, anime, games, kawaii.
Pick whichever fits the version of you that shows up at a con.

One Simple Tip Before You Pick
Try not to lock your name to just one show or character. Interests change over the years.
A name built around your own style, not one fandom, lasts a lot longer. Cosplay skills like sewing and prop-making can even lead to real jobs, so a name you’re not embarrassed by later is worth the extra thought.
FAQ
Should my username include a specific fandom or character name?
It can, but think ahead. A name tied to one show may feel outdated once your interests move on.
Is it okay to use my real name for cosplay?
Sure, if you’re comfortable with that. Many cosplayers use a nickname instead for privacy or just for fun.
Does my cosplay username matter for conventions or judging?
A little. A clean, memorable handle makes it easier for judges, photographers, and other cosplayers to find and tag you.
