Should I change my name?

The reason my name is what it is, is because I was creating a PS4 account and a friend wanted me to make my name with TheKing in it because he had it and so did another friend. I didn't really care about the name that much at the time. I had to use TheKing"Cranee" with 2 E's because "TheKingCrane" was taken. Then we always spoke of youtube and finally I made one. I just used my current name not thinking of it.

For the reason I want to change my name is because it could be difficult for users to find me possibly. When you hear "TheKingCrane" you don't think of it with 2 E's . I have been thinking a ton and there are some really big YouTubers with some odd names but... I haven't seen any with like a double E like mine or something similar. I also have wanted to change it because I didn't want my name being what it is because of someone else. I want the name to be purely my idea but the problem with a new name is a lot. I have a lot tied to the name now, I have 1k subscribers and there is a nice amount of people who know my name now. I wouldn't want to just suddenly change it and everyone is like who is this guy and where did TheKingCranee go. The name also ties in with tags when I have to tag TheKingCrane and TheKingCranee in multiple ways. I also have made T Shirts with the name on it and those are going to be given away (They've already been given away, not shipped). It's a big debate for me at this time.

I also have a logo based off of the name and an entire intro. The intro could be changed up with the new name a bit and the logo could be too.

Help out a little and give me some thoughts :)
 
If you get large enough, people will still find you even if they search for "TheKingCrane." As far as the other PS4 account with the same name, honestly, who cares? It's just a PS4 handle. I'm sure that that person won't care about the name in the long run.
 
The name really doesn't matter in terms of people finding your content. If I find someone who I like, I'll subscribe, then YouTube keeps bringing their videos to me. Usually people are going to remember a video you made or how they searched for something and found it. I struggled with the same thing since our name doesn't make a lot of sense. But I kept it because I like it and I don't think it makes a difference.
 
Name doesn't mean a whole lot as long as you aren't copying some big youtubers name or something or making it really similar. Your name is fine. There isn't a need to change it.
 
Thanks everyone for the feedback, I don't think I am going to change it now. This forum is filled with great people that literally makes me feel better about my choices and my YouTube in general thanks guys.
