Your Fortnite name is your Epic Games display name. It must be 3 to 16 characters and is limited to letters, numbers and a few symbols such as hyphens, underscores and periods. Most Unicode styles, including cursive and gothic letters, are rejected. You can change it once every two weeks, so test before you commit.
The lettering on Fortnite's menus is Burbank Big Condensed, a commercial typeface. You cannot type in it, but you can get close with bold capitals in your thumbnails and clips.
Making a plain name look good
Without fancy letters, rhythm does the work: two short words, a capital at the start of each, maybe a number that means something to you. The generator above mixes word pairs; the plain version is shown under each styled one. For games that do allow symbols, use the nickname generator.
