Thank you for this video! I've been struggling so much with naming my channel and I feel 100% more confident and inspired after your advice! Awesome tips, thanks again! 🙂
This was great........splendid tips! The way I see it, it comes down to 3 areas mostly: your name (personal brand), business name (professional brand), and creative name (personal/professional brand). Main difference is your name is typically a one man show and can branch into anything. The creative name can involve multiple creators but the name should revolve around the niche (if adhered to posing some limitations to relevant topics), while the business name is designed for growing scope in the business and employee count (business name can be creative but typically it would emphasize heavy branding and simplicity). For instance a lot of gamers have random creative names but kill it on the platform, then you have something like Linus Tech Tips which is clearly a business/organization name. I am trying to think of a creative name myself but did consider my personal name. Creative names also are more focused on a single individual unless it's to be for an organization.
What are your best tips for coming up with a creative name? LMK! 👇👇👇
Think Media alter ego that has a skewed personality!!
Hey Sean. I have a food review channel whose name I got from a pun because I really, really love puns haha. So my tip would be to think of something witty, unique, and easy to remember. Anyway, what do you think of my channel name?
Hey, i used my first name and the topic strategy to name my channel. I actually can't rename the UA-cam link yet, but the channel already has a name.
Masters Of Kung Food haha!! I love puns too! Your names cool. I subbed!
Think Media Uhh my best tip is....
To use a name generator
"Make your UA-cam channel name relevant to the content your uploading."
Me: Ok I'll name my UA-cam channel trash.

Another Fantastic Video, Sean! Thank you.
Got quarantined started my channel youtoons in mid September. Started posting episodes of my animated series oddyssey and new episodes every 2 weeks and went from 0 to 155 by mid November. My goal was 100 by 2021 and it definitely surpassed that. I'm an animator, writer and a voice actor but I didn't know much about youtube. So your channel and others like yours Definitely helped me so much. Gonna continue to watch your stuff as my channel grows

Thanks Sean!!! I appreciate your counsel, both in this video, as well as some others I've watched. You've got a great teaching style! I have one of your quotes on my bulletin board, "Most people overestimate what they can accomplish in one year., but they underestimate what they can accomplish in five to ten years." Thanks again!!! Keep up the great work!!!

You make my journey on UA-cam so much simple. Thank You ❣️😊
Thank you for ALL the great content!
I'd love to use my first and last name, but I think I might want to keep my personal life and online life separate. Not because I'm not proud of the videos I make, I just think it would be weird for employers to google me and find my youtube channel haha. I'm thinking of using my first and middle name. Alison Linh... still undecided though!
Alison Linh so what does it really matter we are all going to die anyways
Ah, you're right! Why does anything we do matter?! We should just kill ourselves right now... Thanks for helping me realize
Alison Linh I’m sorry I didn’t mean that. Really sorry that was mean of me.

Hi! Thank you for all the tips to creating a UA-cam channel and encouraging people to start and not give up. I watched so many of your videos and they were really helpful!!! Thank you! :)
I’ve heard that sometimes instead of first and last name, first and middle name can sound more aesthetically pleasing and memorable!!
I will be going through the list of resources and website to see how to come up with a great name. Thanks!
I’ve been putting off starting a UA-cam channel for so long! I love your channel and it’s inspiring me to take the plunge.
Just Do it! I had the same procrastinating spirit, but I uploaded my first video 2 weeks ago and today recorded my second one. Push yourself and get your creative on. Good luck!
Nice name. This is what my social media coach told me & other sites! I think I heard it takes 3-8 seconds for someone to decide if they'll keep listening. Try to be subject oriented &/or problem solving oriented at get go. Write an outline, practice using a timer, smile while speaking. Hope helps! The more you do them, easier it gets. 🤗
My name is Beth Lee. I play off the name Lee by spelling "simply" with two E's in my channel name. Sometimes I get people pronouncing it as "simple," but I think spelling it with a capital L helps 😊
All I can think is that you're a Simp who is named Lee Beth
The term "simp" has probably not been kind to you but look at my name who am I to talk
Cute pic Beth, are you single ?
Cute idea!💝

Simple but useful tips for creating a name! Awesome is the knowledge you have, but also the ability you have to convey information in a clear and concise manner for those "new" to UA-cam and name creation.
Drat! I may have to change my name because it seems someone else has one on Instagram, but not UA-cam--- which I was unaware of when first setting up my channel. Not sure what to do about that now -- but sure do wish I'd seen your vids before my name creation. Oh yeah, the links you provided were very helpful too! 😜🌺
Great information, and thanks for sharing those links, I am sure that will help me to come up with my UA-cam channel name soon.

Great info! I used this video as inspiration when I launched my UA-cam channel this weekend!
The details about using your name for a channel.. 👍🏻 thanks for the useful tips!
I came up with 5 different names for my podcast/youtube channel before I looked for the domain name availability. That narrowed it down quickly and then tried mixing and matching different combinations. Settled with Mindful Skeptics Podcast because it comes up first in SEO. Plus I discuss politics and religion, so the title references the main approach to the topics
After I created my channel I realized that it'd be weird to have different names across other platforms soooo now I gotta stick to that. But I guess my channel name works for what I do 😁
PLZ SUB TO ME ;) LET MY CHANLE GROW AND I WANNA HIT 100 SUBS :P

Sean - I see LOTS of kids later complain that they used their real name for their UA-cam channel, but they are later teased or bullied because of silly, embarrassing videos. They should NEVER use their legal name. Instead they should develop a 'persona' or 'stage name' and become the actor in that persona. 95% of all TV & Movie actors use stage names. A content creator is an actor even if they want to claim they are 'real' or an 'average joe' type of guy. Every one of these kids wants to be major influence later, but they hide this desire with false attitude.
My opinion the reason why many people on youtube are successful is because of their authenticity and people want to see people that are real. If we want to see actor/ress then we can find them on any network TV, Netflix etc. I am not sure if the same applies to kids as I would think many parents are helping their kids create the content (However that's just an assumption)
I agree. Identities get stolen from well known you tubers. The content is what counts--keep content real.
Awesome video as always, thanks for the great tips
Idk if anyone else mentioned this, but when two words share the same first letter or sound it's called alliteration, it helps people remember things such as a channel name
