The same question plagues many of us at one time or another. Fortunately, there&#8217;s a simple solution: a new name! First, you need to go to your channel&#8217;s page. Once there, click on the Settings icon in the right-hand corner. Once there, you&#8217;ll see an edit button next to your channel&#8217;s name. Click the button to change it, and then click Save.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_a_unique_and_catchy_handle\"><\/span>Create a unique and catchy handle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to be found on YouTube, you need to have a catchy name for your YouTube channel. While you can go for an obvious name like &#8220;YouTube&#8221;, a catchy nickname can be more interesting. Keep in mind that your channel name is an extension of your brand identity, so you should make sure it reflects your personality and resonates with your content. Your YouTube handle should also be memorable and demonstrate your business&#8217; intention.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_it_without_changing_your_Google_account_name\"><\/span>Change it without changing your Google account name<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to change the name of your YouTube channel but you don&#8217;t want to change your Google account name, there are ways to do it. First, make sure that your account is classified as a &#8220;Brand Account&#8221; by Google. If it doesn&#8217;t, you most likely have a standard account. Then, change the name on your YouTube channel. Otherwise, you can follow the same steps as for changing your Google account name.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to change your YouTube name without changing your Google account, you can follow the steps below. Open the YouTube app and tap on your profile picture. Next, tap on the name of your channel. Type in your new name, then tap on OK. To change the profile picture, select an existing one or take a new one. Once the new profile picture is selected, save the change. Afterward, you can follow the same steps for changing your channel name.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Explain_it_to_your_audience\"><\/span>Explain it to your audience<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before choosing a new name for your YouTube channel, consider what your target audience will associate with the name. Many people hate the word &#8220;moist&#8221;, so it&#8217;s best to avoid this term as much as possible. A great alternative is to upload videos to your personal YouTube channel. It won&#8217;t affect your channel&#8217;s performance. It&#8217;s also a good marketing move to change the name from time to time.<\/p>\n<p>Your YouTube channel&#8217;s name should be descriptive of what your videos are about. If you&#8217;re creating a tutorial series on Microsoft Excel, a name that evokes the word excel makes sense. However, a channel named MakeupGirl123 would be a complete travesty. Your YouTube channel&#8217;s name should be catchy and convey something about what you&#8217;re offering. The right name can make your videos more shareable and gain subscribers. Think of creative ways to describe your videos and use a thesaurus to help you think of ideas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change Your YouTube Name If you have ever wondered how to change your YouTube name, you&#8217;re not alone.
