Does including your YouTube name in the title increase views?

Recently I have been watching montages of various video games from Battlefield to Rocket League and many others, I have noticed that whenever someone puts their name in the title of their video they usually receive more views. E.g. DukWin | Rocket League Montage (I don't upload Rocket League, this is just an example.) There was this one time I put my YouTube name into one of my videos and it blew up with a couple hundred views in a few weeks. Sadly it was removed for no reason. I am wondering if it has anything to do with SEO or is it more psychological and that the videos people tend to put their names on are their best work or viewers would rather click on a something that has a label?
 
Well this is mostly psychological reason, not so much SEO. People would rather click on original title not just some random one.
Here are some instances of few Gaming YouTube Channels and what they do with titles to be more click worthy (P.S.: And thumbnail is important also)
ALWAYS FAIL YOUR BEST | Would You Rather #7
OH GOD NOT THERE!! | Outlast 2 Demo
UNISTAVAMO SVE OKO NAS ! Grand Theft Auto V - Lude Misije w/Cale (DESTROYING ALL AROUND US! Grand Theft Auto V - Crazy Missions w/Dad)
Minecraft survival sa SerbianGamesBL (Minecraft Survival with SerbianGamesBL)

Tell me if this videos are click worthy or are those below (examples)

GTA Vice City Stories for PC - Mission #1 - Solider

GTA Vice City Stories for PC - Mission #2 - Cleaning House

Note: all titles are genuine (last one from click worthy is from one old video from channel named in title)
 
like Midzan said it's more psychological. With gaming channels you have to do things differently than the herd. I'm sure if you are sorting through 100 videos about the same game and see a unique title it looks more enticing than just letsplay rocket league 15 or whatever.
 
I agree. People want to know that every video is going to be different. I find it best to give every video of mine a theme and then what the series is about.
 
I think the only real advantage putting your channel name in the title would have is allowing people to find you easily if they were searching specifically for your channel name.

I tend to put my channel name in my tags for that reason.

unless you re a pretty big channel,i believe is pointless to put your channel name in the title of the video.. i mean if you don t have a sufficient fan base,people won't reconize it..

I do this as well. I have found that doing this allows my channel to pop up on a good majority of the recommended list on the side when watching a video
