Destiny 2 Bungie Name Rules
Your Guardian has no separate character name in Destiny 2. Every fireteam sees your Bungie Name, so a Guardian name works as a Bungie Name. The table below lists the main rules from the Bungie Name Guide.
| Rule | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Format | A display name, a # sign, and a number code, such as Guardian#1234 |
| Length | Up to 26 characters. Longer platform names are cut to 26 characters. |
| Number code | Random. It changes only when the name changes. |
| Name changes | A Name Change token on Bungie.net, under Profile Settings and Identity Settings |
| Characters | Letters and numbers from the game languages. No emojis or symbols. |
| Banned content | Profanity, hate speech, sexual terms, web addresses, personal information, and mentions of Bungie |
| Broken rules | Bungie renames the account to Redacted with a random number |
How to Choose a Perfect Name for a Destiny Guardian?
A perfect Destiny name fits your Guardian's race and stays easy to read in the fireteam list. Humans use names from Earth's cultures, such as Ikora Rey and Eris Morn. Awoken names sound cold and old, such as Mara Sov and Petra Venj. Exo names end in a number, such as Cayde-6, Banshee-44, and Ada-1. The table below shows each race with an example name.
| Race | Name Style | Canon Example | Example Name | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Human | A first name and a surname from Earth | Ikora Rey | Rowan Fletcher | Little red one, the arrow maker |
| Awoken | An old first name and a short surname | Petra Venj | Astrid Draum | Divine beauty, of dreams |
| Exo | A name and a number | Cayde-6 | Vesper-23 | Evening star |
4 Quick Tips for Naming a Destiny Guardian
- Match the race. A name with a number, like Cayde-6, fits an Exo, and a soft, old name fits an Awoken.
- Stay under 26 characters. Bungie cuts longer names, so a short name shows in full in the roster.
- Skip symbols and emojis. Bungie renames names it cannot show in game to Redacted with a number.
- Skip canon names. Names like Cayde-6, Zavala, and Ikora belong to known characters, so the generator leaves them out.
