Hey!

I'm about to launch a health/lifestyle channel with a main focus on good vibes, mental health and invisible illnesses.

Which name sounds better?

1. rourke_ (my real name)
2. life after Billy
3. Billy

I had a life changing event which pushed me to appreciate the little things, I refer to it as Billy.

I'd use your name or something that includes your name.

A personal brand gives you the ability to grow and evolve over time.

Definitely your real name. Then people can associate with you and when you say hey it's Rourke here (if you do) in your videos they'll know who you are and what channel theyre on etc. You could also argue that for that kind of videos you want a personal touch not some random guy telling you what to do etc [emoji4]

I agree. Rourke is unique and will help with the branding of your channel. The association of being your real name and the brand name is awesome. Do you have anything to do with Rourke Gyms in Cape Town, South Africa?

You could implement both, in a way. You could call yourself by your name and then have your video segments called "Life After Billy," which would be cool, since it's usually hard to think of a not-horrible name for regular video titles, haha. (For me at least)

People may be confused on the Billy part thinking it is life after someone and not get the allegory
