🎮 Summary (TL;DR)

 

 

A channel name appears small.

But it determines how people remember you, search for you, and discuss about you.

Most people rush this step.

That’s where the problem prevails.

🎬 What Is a Channel Name

(And Why It Matters)?

 

 

Let’s make it easy for you.

Your channel name is the name people use to:

• Find you
• Talk about you
• Remember you

It is like your identity online.

If someone watches your video and enjoys it, what do they do next?

They recall your name… or attempt to search it.

If your name is confusing, overly long, or forgettable…

You create difficulty for viewers to return.

That’s why this matters more than it appears.

⏳ Why You Should NOT Rush This?

Many newcomers do this:

They get eager…
Think of a random name…
And start right away.

It feels fast. It seems efficient.

But later?

Problems arise.

Imagine this:

1. You grow your channel
2. People start acknowledging your name
3. Then it dawns on you… you don’t like it at all

Now what?

If you change your name:

• People unsubscribe
• Your identity resets
• People get perplexed
• Old viewers can’t find you easily

Possible… but chaotic.

That’s why it’s wiser to invest your time now, instead of fixing it later.

🧠 How I Came Up With ‘Takzicution’

(Step-by-Step Guide)?

 

 

I did not pop the name instantly.

There was no “sudden thought.”

I built it gradually.

📝 Step 1: The Chart Paper

 

 

I purchased a chart paper.

Not a phone note. Not a quick list.

An actual large sheet.

And I assigned myself a single task:

Write down 100 name ideas.

Not 10. Not 20.

100.

It spent one whole week on it.

Some names were poor. Some were awkward. Some made no sense.

That was fine.

The aim wasn’t flawlessness.

The goal was discovery.

✂️ Step 2: Shortlisting

 

I picked the finest ones.

Just 5 names reached the shortlist.

At this point, the real thinking commenced.

❓ Step 3: The Questions That Matter

 

 

For every name, I questioned myself:

• Is it brand-worthy?
• Can people shorten it?
• Is it excessively lengthy?
• Will it create any issues?
• Is the name already taken?
• Is it available on YouTube?
• Do I personally love the name?
• Is it easy to spell and comprehend?
• Will I like being called by this name?
• Does it resemble to another creator’s name?
• Will I still enjoy it in a few months or years?
• Does it align with my personality, traits and characteristics?
• Does it include overused words like “animations” or “animates”?

 

🤔 Why These Questions Matter?

Each question safeguards you from a potential threat.

E.g:

• If it’s hard to spell → people won’t find you
• If it’s too long → people won’t remember you
• If you do not love it → you will want to change it later
• If it sounds like someone else → you won’t stand out or be blame for plagarism

These are minor details now…

But big issues later.

So instead of assuming…

You test the name before selecting it.

🔍 Step 4: Narrowing Down Again

Out of 5 names…

Now I needed external opinions.

🗣️ Step 5: Getting Feedback

I shared the 3 names to:

• Family
• Friends
• Relatives
• Teachers

I asked them simple questions:

• Which one sounds better?
• Which one feels different?
• Which one is easier to remember?
• Which name you will love to call me by?

This assist me perceive things I overlooked myself.

⚖️ But Here’s the Important Part:

 

Feedback from others is beneficial.

However, it does NOT decide for you.

If everyone prefers one name…

But another name feels more like you…

Because in the end:

You’re the one to carry this name for years.

Not them.

🎯 How “Takzicution” Was Chosen:

After all that thinking, testing, and feedback…

One name was prominent.

It felt special.

It felt different.

It felt like something I could develop myself with.

That name was:

Takzicution (That rhymes with Execution, I’m going to execute my dreams. All too soon.)

Not random.

Not hurried.

💬 A Final Thought:

 

 

Your channel name serves more than just a label.

It shows who you are.

You do not need the “perfect” name.

But you do need a name you look back on with regret.

Test it properly.

Because once you start…

That name remains with you.
