New Discord names are out. Use this script to automatically try a bunch of names.

Here are the name constraints:

• Usernames must be at least 2 characters and at most 32 characters long
• Usernames are case insensitive and forced lowercase
• Usernames cannot use any other special characters besides underscore ( _ ) and period ( . )
• Usernames cannot use 2 consecutive period characters ( . )

NOTE: You can only change your name once every two hours.

I'm sure name checking can be done through the API, but this was a quick solution.

I found this API endpoint that can be used to test for available names: https://discord.com/api/v9/users/@me/pomelo-attempt

It seems to only be available to users who have been granted access to pick a new name, but haven't locked in a new one. So, if you want to check for a lot of names, do not register a new username before checking; otherwise, you will lose access to this endpoint.
