You don’t have to spend hours going to every social media site on the web to find out if your name or your brand’s name is available, there’s one stop shopping at namechk.

Click on the image to see full size.

Just go to www.namechk.com, enter your desired username or vanity url, click the chk button and your results are displayed in just a few seconds.

I chose "demo-name" for my search.

The default results are sorted by the name of the social media site, but you can also sort by the rank of the site. You can see that the search for “demo-name” has been taken on 6 of the sites listed. If you have a common name, you can try different versions of your name until you find a unique username that you can reserve for all the relevant sites you want to brand yourself on.

Don’t freak out, you don’t have to register your desired username at every site listed, but the more you have, the better control you have over your brand.

The service is free, so head on over to namechk and get branded!
