Getting more from these captions

Test it in a sentence
Say 'follow [name] on Instagram' aloud. If you stumble, your friends will too, and the search box will not help them.
Check it is not a big account
Look it up before you commit; a huge account with the same name will bury yours in search, and we cannot promise availability.

Questions

Should a boy's name use numbers or symbols?

Keep it to letters where you can. Symbols are hard to type, and a plain name is easier to remember and share.

Can I use a nickname only friends know?

You can, but strangers will not search for it. Add a line in your bio saying what you post.
