Shopping, payment and coding username checker
By WhatsMyName Apps · Reviewed · Editorial policy
These sites are not social networks, but your username still shows up in a public link: an Etsy profile, a Venmo payment page, a GitHub account that hiring managers open. Some of these names are hard to change later. Etsy usernames, for example, can never be changed, so it pays to check before you sign up.
For payment apps there is a second reason to look a name up. Before you send money on Venmo, it helps to confirm that the @name you were given has a profile at all. The check only tells you whether a public profile answers at that address. It cannot tell you who owns it.

Frequently asked questions
Can I change my Etsy or eBay username later?
Etsy usernames cannot be changed. eBay lets you change yours once every 30 days and holds the old name for 30 days. The rules and sources are on each checker page.
Does a Venmo profile check prove I am paying the right person?
No. It only shows that a profile exists at that @name. Confirm with the person through another channel before sending money.
Is a GitHub username the same as a GitLab one?
No. They are separate services with separate accounts, so the same name can belong to different people on each.
