How to name your YouTube channel

  1. Make it easy to search and say

    People find channels by typing the name they heard in a video or a comment. Keep it short, easy to spell and free on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok, so your handle is the same everywhere.

  2. Say it out loud

    If you have to spell your name twice on the phone, people won’t find you when they search. Pick a name that’s easy to say, spell and remember after hearing it once.

  3. Check it’s free

    Search YouTube, Instagram and TikTok, the domain and your trademark database before you commit. Another YouTube channel with a similar name will split your audience and could cost you the name.

  4. Leave room to grow

    A name tied to one game, one recipe or one trend can feel tight later. If you might branch out, choose a name built around you or your style, so the channel can grow with you.

  5. See it as a logo

    A name looks different on a sign than in a notes app. Tap any name on this page to see it drawn as a YouTube channel logo, in colour, before you decide.

Questions

How do I choose a name for my YouTube channel?

Start with how you want viewers to feel, then pick a style: personal and friendly, short and brandable, playful or topic first. Shortlist five names, say them out loud, check the domain and social handles, then see each one as a logo. The one that still looks right on a sign usually wins.

What’s a good name for a YouTube channel?

Good YouTube channel names are short, easy to spell and say something about what you offer. A few from this page: Just Ask Jess, Clipwise and Hit Subscribe. Tap any of them to see it drawn as a logo.

Can I use these YouTube channel names?

They’re ideas to start from. Before you use one, check it isn’t already taken on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok, in your trademark database, and as a domain and social handle. Adding your own name or a twist makes most of them unique.

Can I make a logo for my YouTube channel name?

Yes. Type your name above or tap one of the ideas, and Zenn draws YouTube channel logos with it straight away. Pick one, change the colours and font, then download it. Designing is free; a Basic logo is $20, a Premium logo with every file type is $65 and the Brand kit is $96 a year.

Can Zenn suggest more names?

Yes. Open the logo maker and tap Business Names: describe your business and Zenn suggests names you can turn into logos in one tap.

Do I own my YouTube channel logo?

Yes. Once you buy it, the logo is yours to use on your sign, website, packaging and socials, for ever.
