Gmail username must not be longer than 30 characters.

The username contains invalid characters

Gmail username can only consist of alphanumerical characters. That is a-z and 0-9. No special characters are allowed.

In this case, the username check went through just fine. Unfortunately, the result is that the name is already taken and you cannot use it.

The username is available.

Green result is a good result! The username you checked is most probably available for registration. Why most probably? During our testing, we've encountered a tiny amount of cases with a false positive result.

  1. Hey There Is A Small Problem It Says Username Is Available For Emails Which Are Deleted Do Fix This Apart From This This Tool Is Great

  2. If one knows the word they want in their address, and it is not available, is there an easy way to search for the closest available address that can include that name?

      1. Google will do this for you too. If you try to register a name that's unavailable, it will suggest a few alternatives that are similar to what you requested. If you don't like any of them, just back out of the registration process and try again with something else.

  3. Just wanted to say that this worked very well for me! It was easier to create emails for my kids knowing what was already taken. Thank you

  4. How do I find out if a Gmail address is assigned to me or not? I had set up another Gmail address but, forgot to link it to my main email address. It's very simlilar to my main address but is missing one word tat is incorporated in my main address.

    Thanks for any assistance you may be able to provide,
