Discord introduced Nameplates, a new Shop item that lets users personalize how their display name appears across Discord. Nameplates appear behind names in server member lists, DM list hover cards, and the User Settings bar, making profile customization visible in more places. They launched on April 22, 2025, with eight designs inspired by themes such as Cyberpunk, Galaxy, and Anime.

  • Nameplates extend beyond the standard Discord profile.
  • They appear:
    • Behind display names in server member lists
    • When hovering over a name in the DM list
    • On the User Settings bar
  • Everyone can see equipped Nameplates on both desktop and mobile.

Shop Availability and Designs

  • Nameplates are available through Discord’s Shop alongside Avatar Decorations and Profile Effects.
  • The initial collection includes eight designs based on popular Shop themes.
  • Users can preview Nameplates before purchasing to compare them with their existing profile style.

Purchasing Details

  • Nameplates can be purchased through the desktop app or desktop web browser.
  • Nitro members receive a discount on all Shop items, including Nameplates.
