An Instagram username can use letters, numbers, periods and underscores, up to 30 characters, with no spaces. To be safe, names here also never start or end with a period or contain two periods in a row.
If the handle you want is taken, Instagram itself suggests adding a period, an underscore, a number or an abbreviation, which is exactly what these variations do. Your display name, unlike the username, can contain spaces and capitals, so you can keep your real name there.
Shorter is easier to tag and remember. If you post about one thing, a handle that hints at it (a plant shop, a sketchbook, a running log) helps new followers know what they’re getting. Add an interest above to steer the suggestions that way.
