Should I change my Youtube name?

[BenDoesLife]

So recently I discovered I use the same name as someone called Ben Davis. We both use the name BenDoesLife. I'm wondering whether I should channel name back to my real name instead of BenDoesLife. What do you guys think?

Just moving this to the Branding & Channel Design section of the forum for you. Also, it is against YTtalk rules to ask people to watch your video like that. Please make sure you read the rules here

I just looked up the channel. I would say no. Reason being, your YouTube hyperlink is already "BenDoesLife". Therefore you're going to be the one people find when they look up your name and if you were to change your name, it would contradict your branding in a sense. Cause it doesn't matter what your YouTube username says, your hyperlink stays the same.

Don't contradict your branding. It's best for leaving your mark on people.
