How did you choose your channel name?

I just wanted a name that could fit with games like 'JayPlays Call of Duty', or 'JayPlays World Of Tanks', but this name was on my older channel, so i deleted that one and came up with JayPlaysOfficial, so the same first name but then official to let my older subscribers know its me again... but with a new name XD confusing but yeah :D i couldnt think of anything else :D
 
FireShock was a name I took form an old gamertag, I had ages ago. It’s just one of those names that just clicked for me and I thought “huh that sounds neat”. Not the most complex story, but I think from old channel just simplifying it from Fireshockreviews to FireShock is better. It’s much easier to say and remember. :)
 
The word Absurd gets a little more use in dutch. I combined it with needlessly to make "NodeloosAbsurd" which is dutch for "NeedlesslyAbsurd". I thought it described the content of my channel very well, getting some ordinary problem and making it absurd. When it came time to start in English, I found the Needlessly quite clunky so I dropped it. The period at the end is just there to be absurd. A period at the end that's stupid for a one word title, right? I do think I will change it, maybe to AbsoluteAbsurd because it kind of works in English but it's still a work in progress.
 
So, my channel is all about hunting, fishing and outdoors in Wisconsin. Since hunters and fishermen/women don't like to give up their locations I always say I am "Somewhere In Wisconsin." So, I decided to name my channel, "Somewhere In Wisconsin.".

My real name is Liam Doyle, but there are loads of people on youtube and generally on the internet with this name, and a friend of mine used to call me O’Doyle after the “O’DOYLE RULES” part in the Adam Sandler film “Billy Madison” so it was the closest thing to my name that felt like me! I checked and there were no others called Liam O’Doyle on youtube, and went for it

When I was thinking of a name for my channel I wanted to convey the experience I wanted viewers to have. I wanted videos to look like they were made by an extensive production team. The idea was that the channel would appear to be a high quality luxury experience. All of my branding is centered around this idea. The initials of my channel in the logo appear to be made of gold. They wear a gold crown atop their head. I am pretty happy with the name and I am starting to see some copycats pop up when I search for my channel name.
 
My Dad came up with it years ago when I was looking to change my gamertag... naturally it's also what I called my channel!
