Names you can't use

Most names are fine. A few are kept safe, so a page can’t trick people into thinking it’s someone it isn’t.

Our own pages

Names Nyni.com uses, or will use, for its own pages: like pricing, help, login, dashboard or status.

Names that sound like Nyni’s team

Words that would make a page look like it speaks for Nyni: like nyni, official, staff, moderator, support, safety or verify.

Well-known companies and services

Big brands, apps, games and banks: the ones people most often pretend to be. Things like google, paypal or discord.

We catch look-alikes too:

• Numbers for letters: g00gle counts as google.
• Dashes and underscores: pay-pal counts as paypal.
• Numbers on the end: google_2 counts as google.
• Bait words around a brand: paypal-support, realdiscord or steamofficial.

Names that just happen to contain a brand are fine, like apple-pie-bakery.

Our team’s block list

The Nyni team can block more names and words when they see a new trick going around. These are checked the same way as brands, look-alikes included.

If your name gets blocked

Sometimes a name already in use gets added to the block list. If that’s yours:

1. You get a notice and an email: Please pick a new address.
2. Pick a new one in Settings → Your address within 14 days. Your page stays up as it is until then.
3. If you don’t, we’ll pick one for you.

Think we got it wrong? Answer the notice from your dashboard. See Notices from the Nyni team.
