Can Someone Help Me With My New Youtube Name

Should I name my YouTube channel my name?

This is my personal opinion because I have not looked into if there's a correlation between choosing your real name or pseudonym for your YouTube channel and how drastically success is affected. I think it all depends on how you brand yourself in the end no matter what name is chosen. When iisuperwomanii started, my friend thought the name was stupid and no one would remember it but, look at her now. She has given a whole new meaning to superwoman. She could've easily used her real name (Lily Singh) which is so much simpler but she didn't. She has claimed to be superwoman and branded herself as such and is a huge success. Same for NigaHiga. Now we've got other people using their real names as well who are just as successful. Christian Guzman and Robin Gallant in the bodybuilding side of YouTube. You've got Jamie and Nikki doing daily vlogs. All successful. So, I say name your channel whatever you desire and just brand it so that whenever someone hears that name (even if your name is John Smith) they'll instantly think of you and no one else.

Can somebody pick the same YouTube channel name as me?

Everybody has a unique channel”name” (in form of a unique url) but it is usually incomprehensible because it is gibberish.It used to be very simple to just change that gibberish into a pronounceable url. Nowadays it is not that easy anymore. So the url stays gibberish.ButThe name your choose for your channel is also unique. You cannot have the exact same channel name (as entered in your youtube credentials). It is like with email addresses. You have to add a number or sign or whatever, if you want that name but it is taken already.So let’s assume this:I want my youtube channel to be called “sunflower” but someone already took “sunflower” so it is not available. So I try “sunflower1” or “sun_flower” or “xXsunflowerXx” etc until I find one that is available and that is the one I take.Still if I make my videos, the youtube search engine will not only consider my channel name when people look for the term “sunflower”. It will also check my titles, my descriptions, and the tags I put on the video. So if 20 people mentioned “sunflower” in any of those three options, they will all pop up in the search results.(My youtube channel is not called sunflower - “sunflower” was just an example)

How do I change my YouTube channel name and URL?

There are two versions of the YouTube desktop experience, the current version and the old version. Follow the instructions for the experience you have.If your channel is eligible, you can give fans an easy-to-remember web address, called a custom URL, for your YouTube channel. This is called a custom URL and looks like http://youtube.com/yourcustomname and http://youtube.com/c/yourcustomname.You can choose a custom URL based on things like your display name, your YouTube username, any current vanity URLs that you have, or the name of your linked website (all subject to availability).When sharing your custom URL, you can change its capitalization and accents any way you want. For example, both http://youtube.com/c/yourcustomname and http://youtube.com/c/YourCustómNámé would send viewers to the same channel.You can't change a custom URL after creation. However, you can remove the custom URL from your channel and claim a new one if you want to change it.
