Rebranding Dilema

[LRwF]

Hello, I hope this is the right place for this. I have been doing a lot of "spring cleaning" and tidying up, and now the name of our channel is beginning to bug me. We thought it was cool at the beginning but we aren't sure if we should change it and completely rebrand.. we are struggling to decide if there is any point and to what!

Any help will be appreciated!

I've changed mine, I didn't like the one I previously had and decided to change it though my url still will say my old name. It also made a lot of my previous viewers confused because I'd been known as the other name for quite a long time. If you change your name you lose what people had remembered you as and you have to take that into account.

I hadn't thought of that.. People would be pretty confused. Thank you!

Really?! We were thinking of making a poll to see what people thought - we are worried that its hard to find or that its not as appealing? But if you like it we might keep it

Just curious, what's bugging you guys about the name?

I can sort of understand the issue the name, at least my issue with the name. I think your channel is really great and everything on it looks great. Changing the name might be a bit difficult for viewers who are so used to looking at LRwF, but changing it might also help new viewers not be so confused by the acronym itself.

When I changed my name to The Ball of Radiance, many people didn't recognize me anymore, and they even thought I was an imposter. Harry the Googly Ball is still a perfect name, so I went back to that good old name.
