About subreddit names

A subreddit name is one unbroken run of 3 to 21 letters, digits or underscores. There are no spaces, so communities show where words begin with CamelCase (WeekendWoodturners, OldTownTalk) or with lowercase and underscores (tiny_wins, soup_season). Every name on this list fits that format as written, with no r/ prefix, so it can be typed straight into the create form.

The list follows conventions Reddit users read at a glance. Ask names promise a question-and-answer community (AskABeekeeper), True and Casual set the tone of the discussion, and an adverb in front makes a running joke (MildlyHeroic, AggressivelyCozy). An IRL ending means relatable posts, Memes and Advice say exactly what belongs there, and Explain and TodayI names describe the post itself. The rest are hobby communities, local groups such as EastsideNeighbors that you can adapt with your own town, showcase communities, and phrase names that work as an in-joke.

These are ideas only. Reddit hosts a very large number of communities and the short, obvious names went long ago, so expect many of these to be in use already. Search Reddit for a name before you settle on it, and treat the choice as permanent: do not count on being able to change a community's name after it has been created.

How to choose subreddit names

  • Stay inside the limits: 3 to 21 characters, and only letters, digits and underscores. Count before you get attached to a name. LibraryCardHolders fits at 18 characters, but one more word would not.
  • Choose the capitals with care. Reddit treats upper and lower case as the same name, but the community is shown the way it was typed when it was created, so set the capitals or underscores that show where the words begin before you create it.
  • Search before you commit. Type the name after reddit.com/r/ or use Reddit's search. If a community already has it, do not settle for a copy that is one letter away: people who type the name from memory will end up at the other one.
  • Let the name say what to post. TodayIFixedIt, RateMySandwich and ShouldIRepotThis are instructions as much as names, which helps a new community get its first posts.
  • Keep it easy to say and to type. Skip digits that stand in for letters and long runs of underscores, because people find communities by typing the name they remember.

Frequently asked questions

What are the rules for a subreddit name?

A subreddit name is 3 to 21 characters long and uses only letters, digits and underscores, with no spaces. Every name here keeps to that, from short ones such as tiny_wins to AskALighthouseKeeper at 20 characters. Treat the name as permanent, because renaming a community later is not something to count on, and settle the spelling and the capitals first.

Can I create a subreddit with one of these names?

Only if no community has the name yet, and for many of these one will. They are ideas written in Reddit's format and have not been checked against Reddit, where most short and obvious names are in use. Search for the name first, and if it exists, treat the idea as a starting point for a variation of your own.

What do Ask, True, Casual and IRL mean in a subreddit name?

They are conventions that tell visitors what to expect. Ask names such as AskABeekeeper are for questions put to a group of people, True usually marks a stricter, discussion-first take on a topic, Casual marks a relaxed one, and an ending like barista_irl means relatable posts about that life. A convention used well does half the work of the community description.

Should a subreddit name use CamelCase or underscores?

Both are common. CamelCase such as WeekendWoodturners or MildlyHeroic is the easiest to read for two or three words, while lowercase with underscores (soup_season, benches_with_views) feels quieter and suits longer phrases. Pick one style for the whole name, apart from the familiar _irl ending.
