Should I change my channel name??

[Dave2017]

I really don´t know what to do here. I come up with an idea for a new name for my channel that might help my concept in the long run. But at the same time I am very happy with the name I got now and have build kind of a "brand" around.. (nothing big but still I got my subs and they know by that name and so on)

1. Can you give some advice?

2. If I change my channel name will I get a new custom YouTube url and if yes, how long will it take?

mine came from a random word generator so i'm not best person to help. changing may not be good for established channel

I dont know if I would use the word "established" I had the channel for about two years and yes I have some fans but also sub4sub subs and dead subs So maybe it would work. The reason why I hold back of course is do to the real fans I got and do to the fact I dont know if and when I can get a new custo channel url

you can change it every 90 days I think, at least a quick google search indicate this period.

Your channel name is nice, why change it? At least it sounds good to me

ooopps!? are you sure you want to give it away?

You can't change a custom URL after creation. However, you can remove the custom URL from your channel and claim a new one if you want to change it. Note that once you remove a custom URL it may become free to be claimed by another creator. In general, a YouTube channel may only have one (1) custom URL and custom URLs cannot be transferred or assigned to anyone.

No I am not sure and that is the problem I like my channel name too but new the new name got some more long term potential Thanks for the links by the way this make me think extra of course. So no I´m not sure I want to give it away I will have to think a bit more

What will it be about, and does the channel name connect with that? I think that's what you have to ask. Mine does, though it won't necessarily work for future endeavors. I've already worked on branding the name, so I think if the brand works, you should consider sticking with it.

I like your channel name and if I was you I would not look to change it.
But if you are going to. What new channel names do you have in mind?
