What is a YouTube Channel Name And Why is it Important?
A YouTube channel name is…you guessed it…THE NAME OF YOUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL!
Seriously, though – Why is a YouTube channel name so important?
Here’s the thing…
YouTube is one of the best social media platforms to start and grow an online business fast. But the problem is that there’s so much competition out there that it’s hard to actually get people to choose your videos over someone else’s.
So, how do you stand out and instantly get eyes on your YouTube channel?
A great YouTube channel name.
Your channel name is a great way to get your target audience interested in your videos and choose you from the thousands of other YouTube channels out there. Your channel is the #1 way your audience will define you and understand your brand. So, you’ve got to get it right.
How to Name Your YouTube Channel
There are two widely accepted ways to name your YouTube channel: The easy way and the hard (ish) way.
Let’s start with the easy way first.
The easiest way to name your YouTube channel is just to choose one of the following three methods:
- Your Name: Some of the biggest YouTubers just use their real name. Think, Gary Vee, Tony Robbins, Adam Enfroy (wink wink) or Justin Beiber. This is the easiest way to name your channel. It works well for people who already have a public profile. You could even do variations of it by adding something about your niche or channel to the name. For example, cooking with (name) for a cooking channel or life with (name) for a vlog.
- Your Name + Brand: This is one of my favorite ways to name a YouTube channel. A good example is Daniel Duane TV Tech. This lets people know who you are AND what you do immediately. It’s great for personal branding and great for clicks because people know instantly what they’re getting into.
- Brand Name: Trust me, if you’re an existing business, just use your business’ name. Don’t overthink it. You want to tie a red line through your entire brand online, so just use your brand’s name for your YouTube channel name. Good examples of this are Think Media, Target, and Wal-Mart.
Pro Tip: If you’re still stuck on naming your YouTube channel, head over to a YouTube channel name generator. A lot of the names will be pretty out there, but there are always some hidden gems mixed in. At the very least, you could get some inspiration. My favorite YouTube name generator is Welder – soon to be Veed Live.
OK, that was the easy way. Just following one of those 3 options above could save you hours of time, and ensure your channel has a hiller name.
But if you insist on doing it the hard way, here are some tips for naming your channel.
Tips For Naming Your YouTube Channel
![computer open to youtube search results](https://moridomdigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/computer-open-to-youtube-683x1024.webp.webp)
OK, so after scouring the top 500 YouTube channels, I’ve reverse-engineered their names to come up with these 10 tips.
#1. Keep Your Youtube Channel Name Short And Memorable
Keep it to 4 words maximum with rare exceptions.
There’s not much space on people’s YouTube feeds. You don’t want your name to be cut off.
The biggest YouTubers out there usually have 2-3 words max, but a 4th won’t kill you.
Think of:
#2. Consider Your Niche or Category
Adding category descriptors into your name is a great way to drive clicks and subs. This lets people know immediately what they’re getting into.
There are tons of people who hunt for content in certain niches just to kill time, and you want those people to look at your name think “oh, I’m into that stuff. Let me check it out”.
Good examples of this are some of the big travel YouTube channels:
- The Endless Adventure
- The Bucket List Family
- Indigo Traveller
- DWDocumental
- Geography Now
Notice that they either have a descriptor (e.g, documental) or a word related to travel (e.g, adventure).
Sit down and write out at least 10-20 words related to your niche or category.
Other good examples of categories are:
These are all descriptors relating to the channel’s content. So, start by thinking about what type of content you’re going to produce, and work backward from there.
You could always just say what type of content you’re creating as well. If you’re creating documentaries, say documentaries. If you’re creating a reaction YouTube channel, use “reacts” or “reactions”. Keep it simple.
Pro Tip: Think of at least 10 videos that you want to create. See if there are any patterns. For example, Channels built around tips or little digestible bits of knowledge are a great idea for a YouTube channel. If this were the case, you could put the words “daily”, “tips”, or “hacks” into your YouTube channel name.
#3. Follow Naming Trends From Big Channels
I’m not a big fan of trends, but, hey, this is social media.
The best way to do anything is to just see what successful people are doing and copy them.
There are a few major trends among the top 500 YouTube channels that are a great place to start:
- Use alliteration (when both words start with the same sound). “Grace’s Gardening” or “TED Talks”
- Add common suffixes to your channel like -ly, -ish, or -ize
- Fuse two words together like vagabond + brothers to create The Vagabrothers
- Use a unique spelling
- Creat your own nickname based on one of your interests. How do you think PewDiePie got his name? It’s just because he likes pie!
#4. Use Strong Language
What do you think of when you see the YouTube channel name “Epic Meal Time”? To me, that feels…well…epic!
Strong words like epic, now, go, incredible, delicious, or extreme are all good ideas.
Using strong language is an age old copywriting technique that has proven to get results. People stay more focused on the page when the writing is strong. Weak, passive writing loses people’s attention and doesn’t make an impact. But strong words keep the mind engaged and drive action.
Good examples of YouTube channels doing this well are:
When in doubt, look up “power language” in copywriting and you’ll see which words are most commonly used.
#5. Personalize Your YouTube Channel Name
I’ve already touched on this before, but I’ll say it again: Try to make your channel name unique to you.
It doesn’t have to be your name, but it should be something related to you (if you’re going to be in the vidoes).
That could be:
- A nickname
- Your middle name
- A username you like
- A variation of your name plus the category of your channel. For example, “Cooking With Sarah” or “Travel by Jim”
Don’t overdo this. You don’t want to sacrifice clarity or the sake of getting cute with your channel. But it should at least be somewhat related to you.
Speaking of that…
#6. Don’t Overcomplicate Things
I know this should be obvious, but it’s worth saying.
While you do want to be somewhat creative, you don’t want to make things too hard to remember or spell.
For example, a lot of YouTubers with very long names will use a nickname or change the spelling to make it easier for people to remember.
A good example of this is Panda Boi. He uses a unique spelling of “boy” to make it memorable, but it’s not that hard to type. If it were Panda boiez, it would be a nightmare. I’ve seen a few students of mine trying to use ridiculous spellings. Don’t do that!
#7. Think About Future Growth
You definitely should niche down, but you don’t want to pigeonhole yourself either.
For example, Dave’s Movie Reviews is a perfect YouTube channel name. It’s everything a good YouTube channel name should be. Simple, easy to remember, and very descriptive. However, Dave’s Horror Movie Reviews would NOT be good in my opinion.
This would limit Dave – whoever he is – to only horror movies for the rest of his channel’s life.
If you learn how to grow on YouTube, you’ll get a lot of new followers. And you’ll be expected to make a ton of content. You don’t want to make life any harder than it already is. So, go general enough to give yourself some wiggle room to expand further down the road.
Memorable YouTube Channel Names For Inspiration
I want to include some catch channel names from some of the most successful YouTube channels. That way, you can use them for inspiration to come up with your own YouTube channel name.
The best way to use these channels for inspiration is to really think about what makes them so good.
Think “why does this name jump out at me”, “why is memorable”, or “what makes it a catchy channel name”? I would take notes of all the channels and use this in your thinking process when brainstorming your channel name.
#1. Cocomelon
![](https://moridomdigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Zimef23Kk68FTw7RdegLyffJqAsZ1eJBdB6n_PZb3y_w0hBSoULAKG81HLP5jV4JyY7FvwZy-5vA_Z_SXCM_AXX947QX_uFmMIADLf1Y7rDc6BVskOftjztF_z7ELWorSO82IGbbGLa37TK2zVeVlbw.png)
Ah, Cocomelon. The big, evil nursery rhyming machine driving parents insane when all they want to do is sleep.
Just kidding, Cocomelon is great!
This is a great example of how changing your YouTube channel can result in massive increases in viewership. Cocomelon used to ABC KidTV, which is a bit long and ambiguous.
They rebranded to Cocomelon to have more a joyful, childlike name. Cocomelon was inspired by a nursery rhyme, and the name is cute, easy to say, and memorable.
This is a great example of how thinking outside the box and using words related to your niche (in this case, kids babble) is a great way to strike a chord with your audience.
#2. PewDiePIe
![](https://moridomdigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/mNEl8wfU3rpXlYuikk6G5n5-DagberWDUFCKb5kD-QwR_McM9zjdgXjQ2Nzv4TaifpoXLQV-6zG8A_30erTrdmdcgr_bxmQRouUS-zFBni5qfqBu2obJRtxlyzJyje4ZoIZ7ERl4aJgPoiaRQDecXhQ.png)
It still blows my mind that some random Swedish gamer has 111 million subscribers. I really don’t even know what he does. He’s just PewDiePie.
PewDiePie is a great example of using creative, alliterative words to make a memorable YouTube channel name.
Also, it’s personalized. PewDiePie says he just like pie, and that’s why he chose to add pie into the name.
When thinking of possible YouTube channel names, try adding in something unique about you.
#3. Vlad And Niki
![](https://moridomdigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/AW3Y7ASPQZl-AAWFrJ7IJtLNrLyBFAeyZIxCci7B9wz6aHoQiIwHn1aU_bA9xw3CxP02AuLzoXMobddqdFqUzQ63dU5OxYkmrszxSi5oi3KWy_dXe5bUF4aluJdHYg0_iKobZAzGtf5dIATKhz-iHG0.png)
Vlad and Niki proves that simpler is usually better.
It’s literally just their names. People remember human names a lot more easily than random words. So, while creativity is a good thing, sometimes just keeping it simple is best. Remember, don’t overthink it!
#4. Adam Enfroy
![](https://moridomdigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/zYR7Nke3mEBc3sse_RClMLeoDd-RcknIeBDtP5uEDBve4ko4TJZMdrWXo3QFsG2M8IlAKnfeNApjjiPjUI_bPciOA5DflNKWW6fOhgPHGC9Rd7_W2QvOcgNHOqBpSu4LJWxDME6JTQMCvgUvy7OLdbE.png)
I might be just a tad bit biased here, but I love Adam Enfroy’s channel name.
Again, keep it simple and just use your own name if you can…especially if you’re a business or want to be an influencer in your niche.
#5. NoCopyrightSounds
![](https://moridomdigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/nNp8Cew0W-i1SBI0KSzNgAqgyo6nhvGTltOC5W8YZAyWmijdd9bd7Tav0_P6_AUo3eLtdKcVcrDEMiiiDGVrEuFQhGM-TGaNBmlKGE_RKMfsWS0_nkbYWXHin0cO-ai0y9H6zr6LFRDsUb9xD_6SMFo.png)
Boom.
This is a tour de force in using descriptors in your channel name. Just say exactly what your channel is about or what it does.
In this case, NoCopyrightSounds is full of copyright-free music.
Follow their lead by saying exactly what the audience should expect when clicking to your channel page.
