Pro Tips for Choosing Your Name

- 💡Check if the name is available as a domain and social handles too
- 💡Avoid numbers and underscores when possible (harder to remember)
- 💡Don't box yourself in—'CookingWithSarah' limits you if you expand to other content

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change my YouTube channel name later?
Yes, you can change your channel name up to 3 times in 90 days. But your handle (@username) is harder to change and has different rules. Best to get it right the first time.
How do I know if a channel name is available?
Search for it on YouTube. Also check if the handle is available in your YouTube settings. Pro tip: Check Twitter, Instagram, and domain availability too for brand consistency.
Should my channel name include my niche?
It helps for discoverability, but it's not required. 'MrBeast' doesn't mention anything about his content, but it's memorable. If you're new, a niche-related name can help viewers find you.
What makes a channel name 'brandable'?
Brandable names are short, unique, easy to spell, and don't limit your content. Think 'Netflix' vs 'OnlineMovieStreaming'. The first can expand to anything; the second is stuck.
Should I use my real name?
Depends on your content. For personal brands (vlogs, tutorials, commentary), your name works great. For channels about specific topics where you're not the focus, a topical name might work better.
