Pick the bracket style once for the whole guild so everyone matches.

Fancy letters are different characters. Keep a plain-text spelling for recruiting posts.
What "Guild Nickname" Covers
The phrase gets searched for two quite different things. The first is a gaming guild or clan: the group name and the short tag players wear in front of their usernames in games like Free Fire, PUBG Mobile, BGMI and many MMOs. The second is a nickname inside a guild, which is what Discord calls a server. In Discord's own developer terms, a server is a "guild", and a server nickname is a name that shows only in that one server.
Both are short strings that have to look good and be typed by a lot of people, so the same styles help. This page handles both: brackets and frames for tags, plus gothic, bold and symbol styles for the name itself.
Game Guilds and Clan Tags
In games, a tag sits in front of the player name and tells everyone who you play with. The classic format is the tag inside brackets, followed by the name, such as 【ABC】Name. Use the Lenticular, Angle Brackets, Boxed Dash and Corner Frame cards for that effect.
- Length: 2–4 characters for a tag. A longer name goes in the guild name field instead.
- Readable first: if a tag is mostly symbols, nobody can type it to search for you.
- One style: if some members use 【】 and others use [], the roster looks messy. Decide once.
- Respect the game's filter: some games clean symbols out of guild names. Test with one member first.
Discord Server Nicknames
Discord lets you set a different nickname in each server through Edit Server Profile. That's useful for guild communities: your game name can be the main one, and a server nickname can carry the guild tag. Nicknames can be up to 32 characters.
Check the rules before going heavy on decoration. Plenty of servers ban nicknames that are hard to read or that can't be typed with a normal keyboard, because moderators and bots need to mention people. A bold or small-caps nickname is rarely a problem. A page of zalgo text usually is.
Naming a Guild That Lasts
Good guild names are short, a little unusual and not attached to one game. If the guild moves to a new title, you don't want a name that only makes sense in the old one. Something like Northern Ashes or Velvet Static works anywhere. A name like AK Squad 2023 doesn't age well.
Say it out loud before you commit. If recruiting happens over voice chat, you'll be spelling it a lot. And check that the spelling can survive without decoration: when you post on social media, the plain version should still make sense. For more on this, see how to choose a guild name that looks good and sounds strong.
Where to Use the Styles
Paste the result into the guild name field, the clan tag field or a Discord server nickname. For a matching personal nickname, the Free Fire ID name page, PUBG name style page and BGMI name style page cover individual game rules.
Recruiting With a Good Name
A guild name is a recruitment tool, so test it as one. Put it in a recruitment message, read it aloud and see whether a stranger could type it from memory. If you are recruiting on Discord or Reddit, use the plain spelling in the title and the styled one in the body, so searchers find you and the decoration is just a bonus.
Include one concrete detail next to the name: the game, the region and the play style. "Velvet Static, casual evenings, UK time" tells a recruit more than the name could on its own, and it filters out players who would not fit.
Keeping Everyone Consistent
The most common way for a guild to look sloppy is inconsistency: three different bracket styles, one member who never added the tag, a Discord name that does not match the in-game name. A pinned message with the exact tag, the bracket style and an example line fixes most of it. Paste the styled version from this page into that message so members can copy it exactly instead of retyping.
Re-check it when the game updates. Filters change, and a tag that worked last season may be cleaned by the next patch. When that happens, a plain fallback tag, agreed in advance, keeps the roster looking tidy while you find a new style.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a guild nickname?
+
It can mean a group (guild or clan) name or tag in a game, or a personal nickname you set inside a Discord server, which Discord calls a guild internally.
How long should a clan tag be?
+
Usually two to four characters, so it doesn't push your player name off the screen.
Can I use symbols in a Discord server nickname?
+
Yes, up to 32 characters, but many servers have rules against unreadable nicknames, so check before using heavy decoration.
Why was my guild name rejected by the game?
+
Games filter characters in guild names. Try a simpler bracket style, or remove emoji and rare symbols.
How do I make a guild name searchable?
+
Keep the plain-text spelling in your recruiting posts, because fancy letters are different characters from normal ones and won't match a search.
