Should I use my real name for my channel?

[StacyPancakes]

Thanks everyone. I am still very undecided lol.[DOUBLEPOST=1453701439,1453676395][/DOUBLEPOST]After a lot of brain storming, I think I may have settled on something. I may just call it LCEM Design. LCEM Graphics is the name of my business, so I might just change graphics to design and do that. LCEM are my initials lol.

I think that sounds good. It sounds better with what you are trying to achieve with the channel. I think using first name is fine, but I would never use my real last name.

Thanks, I think it would probably be best to go with that. And well, I am not too worried about using my last name lol. My real full name it already on the internet from my business website xD

I use a nickname for my family that peoplease have been calling members of my family for years.

I go with my internet name.

Grgak sounds so awkward and it fits my character.

Who is pretty much like me in real life

but I think Mark is not that awkward of a name so Grgak stuck

It sounds like a bad guy in a 90's Saturday morning cartoon. Which is awesome.

I'm thinking of making my name alisonwonderland. I just don't know if that is too many syllables. Do you think that is an issue?

I think it is fine fore people to say, but that is a lot of typing someone will have to do in order to search for you. Also, that is a very popular movie, you may want to check to make sure other people aren't already using that or a variation of it.

I would say yes. It makes you more engrossed with your subscribers, making a friend on friend relationship something that is helpful when people make tutorials because they feel like your not looking down upon them, but as a friend. Yes if you want to be on a more personal level with them, No if you just want to upload content to make people aware of this. Either or its up to you, your name is always the easiest because you don't have to spend days trying to find the perfect "name" when you can use your real name and it will never change, no new branding only new graphics and perspectives!

I hope I helped to us little

I like the idea of using your online user name if you've already got a gaming channel with a following. Then, you can just mention you also have a design channel and tell subscribers if they want to check it out go to it. Seems like a more sensible option for you at this stage.

I honestly think it comes down to personal preference.

If you include what your videos are about in your channel name (for example, I do travel vlogs, so if I put Jordan Pike's Travel Vlog), it will help draw people in just based off that. But I don't think it's a massive necessity. It could help, but it does lack a bit of professionalism. So, for me, I just went with my name, Jordan Pike. I think your profile picture can be just as/if not much more important than adding info about your channel into your channel name. In the end, the quality of your content is what will keep people coming back.

So, in my opinion, I really think it's personal preference. I subscribe to channels that do both, but my subscription is solely based off the content that they provide.

Cheers!
