In this video, Nolan goes over the best tips for creating a youtube channel name in 2022!

[ThinkMediaTV]

Question of the day 💡Are you happy with your channel name? Why or why not?

[mcmaschio]

One of the most nerve wrecking parts … decided finally to not overthink keep it simple and go with my name 😝

[seansaidit]

Amazing video bro! I've been back and fourth on starting a youtube channel for years now but, after a major car accident injury and it hurting my detailing business I'm going to finally give it a go! You just helped me solidify my channel name I picked prior to this vid! Hybrid it is! "Sean Said It" is the name and this channel is going to be my speaking on business, investing, social experiments, pyschology and more! Hope to see you at the top and thank you!

[HeavenlyBridegroomMusic]

I'm changing the name to something shorter, and simple and what it is about. Changing today. And it's memorable. Bam! Thank you so much!

[MarcoBeSomething]

I like to make names that convey the general idea of the content you’ll find when seeing the video library for example my main channel is SnazzyGameBot and this is my second channel that I made to challenge myself as a creator and make content based on my other interests as well as experiment in trying other interests.

That being said I’ve considered changing the name several times since I feel that this is more a holdover name but some ideas I’ve came up with since creating the channel are:
Marco’sMix, AverageGuyTries, MBProductions, MarcoMakes or MarcoMakesContent(leaning towards this one). I like that they’re memorable, unique and have nice sounding acronyms.

[iamboredyk]

Hey guys!
I need your advice...
I have three Options of names
1. Muff1n
2. MARVIN
3. Marvin Schmidt

Wich should i choose?

[avneet.]

These are some great tips! I personally don't like hybrid names either lol. Totally agree with not putting pressure on the name itself as you can always change it later. Great video! :)

[JeiCos]

Mine is the Hybrid one (option 3). Jei is what I go by at conventions, and is literally part of my name, but spelled using Romanized Japanese Kanji (Using English letters to spell out something written in Japanese). The character for JEI are what would be used to spell Jay in Japanese. The "Cos" part of my name is just short for Cosplay (which is what my channel is about), and is extremely common in the cosplay community to indicate that you are a cosplayer.

[AlexiGiovani]

Fun fact. My name LOOKS like a real name (option 1) but it’s actually a custom name (option 4). It’s from my two main Animal Crossing character names. Alexi and Giovani ;)

[DadBodForever]

It took me a while to come up with my name, and so far I like it.

[Vxa_gaming]

I’ve been thinking of vliazy, cause my name starts with V and i wanna add lazy into the word, but i just changed it up a bit and i came up with vliazy.

[yasinnabi]

Awesome video and I loved watching it. thanks for the upload !

[WanderingSwitchback]

I'm happy with mine, and thankfully it wasn't taken anywhere! Switchback is my trail name, and I wanted something that fit with backpacking and hiking, but also something that was my "style." Of the words I considered, Wandering was the best fit. I also wanted it to be appealing to beginners, be reasonably memorable and not sound like I'm some aggressive hiker.

[mr.explain]

I love this guy nolan I enjoy watching his videos

[GayaShoval]

Question:when I'm changing my name does it affect the algorithm

[BlueWolfRoblox]

I use my gaming nickname (BlueWolf), in every kind of account, app or game (even my SCHOOL ACCOUNT). Its very unique and includes two of some of my favorite things. Its something simple but it became my personal signature for years. Im proud of my channel name for sure...!

[NiklasEngelLive]

I want to make YouTube videos about outdoor gear and trips related to biking and hiking. Should I rename one of my inactive channels, they where about tea and motorcycle restoration. Should I rename one of these channels (maybe the one with 150 subscribers) and make an announcement video to let the viewers know about the new content, or should I create a third, separate channel for the outdoor content?"

[Modern_Monk]

Bout to do my first video tomorrow. WML!

[BrandonMinguez]

I’ve changed my YouTube name a few times, but I like the hybrid method how it currently is. I post investing content as well and I’ve thought about adding that in somehow, but feel like that may make the name too long.

[slickfalse]

Tysm for this I needed this for my youtube channel
