What Makes A Creative Instagram Highlight Name?
The above list should spark some creativity. Feel free to copy one of the names you like most and run with it.
However, if you want an even better Instagram highlight name (or just want to get creative and use better names in various places – including your Instagram stories highlights), here are a few more tips. These ideas can help you make your profile even more you.
Wordplay And Puns
Creating highlight names with specific word plays and puns makes the name much more memorable.
For example, if you’re into travel, why not add something like:
- Peaking The Mountain Peaks
- Worldwide Suitcase Stories?
In just a few words, you make your Instagram highlight name more memorable. These play-on-words related to the travel niche make people notice you’re not just one of many – but one of a kind.
It also shows you’ve taken a few seconds to consider what your audience might find engaging.
The same applies to any topic you’re interested in.
For example, in the fitness niche, adding a highlight name like “Plank You Very Much” (if your profile focuses on a specific type of fitness class you teach) can make a big difference.
If you’re into food, how about using a play on words like
…to add some spice?
Alliteration Or Assonance
Unless you overdo it (please don’t), alliterations can make an Instagram highlight name better.
What’s the difference between these two? Without getting into a whole English lesson (not my strongest subject in school), alliteration means you’re repeating consonant sounds. Assonance means you’re repeating vowel sounds.
Consider these two examples within the travel industry:
- Deep Dives into Distant Destinations
- Mystic Mountains and Magical Moons
Imagine having that as part of your Instagram name. Think it would leave an impression?
Here’s another example in the personal development niche:
- Personal Progress and Peaceful Paths
- Dreams, Dedication, and Determination
Ask Questions Or Make Statements
Do you want people to:
- Break the scrolling trend
- Think for a few seconds (or maybe more)
- And then explore more of your content?
Asking a well-thought-out question (as part of your Instagram name) can do all that.
What’s important is that the question is laid out in simple, short terms.
For example:
- ever tasted the world’s best pizza? (for a food-themed Instagram profile)
- ready for a fitness transformation? (wellness Instagram profile)
- how do you define success? (motivation Instagram profile)
- how often do you ever take your dog to the dog park? (dog park adventures Instagram profile)
Use Emojis In Your Name
If you want to add visual reliance through emotions, emojis (or symbols) can help you build the perfect Instagram highlight name.
Similar to the points above, do not go overboard. You don’t want to have more emojis than text.
Also, with each example above, I provided a suggested emoji with each Instagram highlight name. Feel free to change the emoji to make it more relevant.
And that is the key – relevance.
You don’t want a random/unrelated emoji that confuses the people who come across your Instagram profile.
Consider the following:
- 🏖️Beach Vibes
- 🏔️Mountain Escapes
- 🧁Baking Bliss
- 🌶️Spice Trail
All the emojis are very relevant to the Instagram name highlight. They add to the adorable moment (beach vibes), the passion of the occasion (mountain escapes/baking bliss), or the literal heat of the moment (spice trail).
Conclusion
Next steps? I suggest choosing one of the best Instagram highlight names above and adding it to your profile.
With the right Instagram highlight name, you’ll see a difference in how people deal with your content.
