It seems like every game, you see the best Among Us names that youâve never thought of. In this list, weâre going to cover ten of the best names that weâve seen or thought of. Hopefully, they serve you well in your next game, like our tips for victory guide. If not, then at least you wonât feel woefully boring compared to everyone else in the lobby.
1. Someone

This is, without a doubt, the best name to go into an Among Us lobby with. Regardless of whether youâre an Imposter or not, it will drive everyone crazy.
When an emergency meeting is called, you can immediately say, âwell, it must be someone, and I donât mean me.â Youâll be able to hear the groans of every other player in the lobby, even if they donât have a mic.
When someone says, âVote someone,â you can also come back at them with, âyes, but who?â Be warned, though; it could frustrate some players so much that they leave.
Best for fun
This name is definitely one to use if you want to have a good time in a lobby. It might also be worth reserving it for a game where you and some friends can chat over Discord as well. That way, you can really make the most of this name.
2. Skip

This was a close second in this best Among Us names list. Itâs a lot more obvious, and could even get you out of trouble in a scrap.
Even if someone sees you kill a crewmate in front of them, all they can say is, âI vote skip.â It might sound like a childish joke, but I promise you that it works.
Best for Causing Havoc
This is a great name for players who want to join a lobby with randoms, without a mic. Since thereâs no verbal communication, it will be easier to confuse everyone into voting for a skip.
If someone does see you kill or emerge from a vent as an Imposter, it might just save you from being kicked out of the ship. If you donât believe me, then try it for yourself and see the results.
3. No One

This name is a lot harder to pull off than the top two, but itâs still a lot of fun to play around with. Players will say, âVote no one,â and you can respond with âokayâ and watch on as everyone votes for a skip. Itâs not as effective as the name âSkipâ, but itâs still a great option that isnât boring.
Best for fun
Just like âSomeone,â this name is best for players who just want to have a good time in the game. If youâre obsessed with winning as many matches as possible, then maybe choose a different name. With the title âNo One,â though, youâll have everyone in the lobby confused as they try to figure out how to vote off an Imposter, even if they know who it is.
4. (Any Color That Isnât Yours)

Since you need to choose your name when you join a lobby, this one can be hard to pull off. Just pick a color, and go with it. If you canât think of one, then just go through the colors of the characters youâve played as.
Best for Winning
This name might not seem like one to use if you want to win, but it really is. Most players in Among Us will ignore your name when theyâre in a meeting and simply tell everyone to vote for your color. When that happens, theyâll say âvote Blueâ or something similar.
If your name is âBlue,â but your color is green, things will get super confusing fast. You can object to people voting for your name or color, and really mess up the system.
This name is at its best when youâre an Imposter with someone who is playing as the color youâve chosen for your name. That way, you can defend each other. This is hard to pull off, but when it does happen, itâs some of the best fun you can have in the game.
5. (A Location in the Ship)

In the middle of the best Among Us names list is any location on the ship. This could be âElectrical,â âNavigation,â âAdmin,â and so on. More than anything, this name is just going to confuse the other players, probably to the point where they vote you out just to keep things simple.
Best for Espionage
As an Imposter, youâll be sabotaging systems and killing other players all over the ship. When someone accuses you of doing something in a certain location, you can just respond with, âno, my name is Navigation, not Electrical.â Itâs a tough bluff to call, but it might just work if everyone else gets confused by your name.
6. Imposter

Thereâs very little that needs to be said about this name. I think you know where Iâm going with it.
Best for Imposters
Obviously, everyone is going to call out the Imposter in this game; itâs part of the core gameplay. If that happens to you, you can deny it and say, âmy name is Imposter, but Iâm not an Imposter!â
This is a great name for anyone who loves to play as an Imposter. It will set the tone for the entire match and should serve you well as you try to work your way out of being caught. Itâs also especially effective when youâre not an Imposter, but thatâs just not as fun.
7. Sus

Of all the names on this list, I think this is the funniest. Every time thereâs a meeting in Among Us, someone says that a player is âsus,â meaning theyâre suspicious.
If you change your name to âSusâ, then you can easily avoid detection as an imposter, or just have some fun when youâre not.
Best for Imposters
I think this name works best for Imposters because theyâre the most likely to be called âsus.â When that happens, just respond with, âyes?â or something equally mundane. Even when players are calling someone else âsus,â you should respond. It will create absolute carnage on the ship, and youâll have a great time too.
8. Not Me

If youâre always honest in your among Us matches, then this is a good name for you. In the in-game meetings, itâs easy to say, âI vote, not me,â but when someone is actually saying that about you, itâs going to get confusing.
Best for Causing Havoc
When someone wants everyone to vote for you, and you have this name, itâs going to look like theyâre trying to prove their innocence. When they do this, you can jump in with, âwhy shouldnât I vote for you, then?â After that, the rest of the players will think that theyâre suspicious and immediately hone in on them. Itâll cause a mess, but itâs one fo the best Among Us names out there.
9. Trust Me

This name literally cannot fail. When someone is being called âsus,â and they say âI vote Trust Meâ, everyone will vote for them. You never say that youâre innocent, and you never ask everyone to trust you. You may as well paint a target on your head.
Best for Causing Havoc
There really isnât anything more taboo than asking others to trust you in this game. I think that it goes without saying that as long as youâre quiet, youâll see a lot of people get themselves voted out if you have this name.
10. Vote Me

The last name on this list is a classic. All you need to do is put this as your name, and everyone will get themselves kicked out of the ship.
Best for Winning
Whatever you do, people will say, âI Vote Meâ or something along those lines. Theyâll never have seen the name before, and because theyâre used to typing too quickly, theyâll accidentally tell everyone to vote for them.
This is where you can count on every Among Us player to do what they do best, make fun of someone. Watch on as that player is helplessly voted off of the ship, and you go undetected for yet another round.
Conclusion
Any of these names would be great for you to take into your next game. I donât think that there really is any one name in this best Among Us names list that would serve you better than the others.
