Tips for Creating a Memorable Gaming Channel Name
The above list should have gotten your brain firing. However, here are a few more factors to consider.
Use Alliteration or Rhyming Words
The best gaming channel names make it easy for people to remember their names. Alliterations or rhyming words help do this.
Consider the following names:
- Pixel Perfect Play
- Puzzle Pro
- Platform Prodigy
- Pew Pew Power
- RPG Rampage
- Racing Rebellion
- Roguelike Rush
- RTS Rookie
- Survival Saga
As opposed to the following:
- Journey of Possibilities
- Puzzle Junction
- Legendary Masters League
- Questing Crew
- RPG Puzzle Showndowns
The second list of names is still okay for YouTube gaming channels. However, they don’t contain the same ‘memorability factor’ as the first list.
Get Inspiration from Gaming Culture
Need the ultimate inspiration for your YouTube channel name? Consider some of the popular games of the last few years. These might include games like:
- Apex Legends
- Minecraft (check out this post for a whole list of ideas)
- Grand Theft Auto V
- Counter Strike Global Offensive
- Fortnite
- Dota 2
- League of Legends
- Overwatch
- Red Dead Redemption 2
Playing on these game titles can inspire your choice of YouTube gaming channel names. Here’s a list I came up with (can you spot the game behind each channel name below?):
- ApexStrategist
- BlockCraftersHub
- UrbanChaosGamer
- GlobalStrikeCommand
- DotaDynasty
- LegendsArenaLive
- OverwatchOutpost
- WildWestGamers
Quick note: Be careful not to infringe on any game name by choosing a channel name too close to the original game.

YouTube Gaming Channel Names – FAQ
What Makes a Good YouTube Gaming Channel Name?
The top 3 factors that make up a good YouTube gaming channel name are:
- Relevance to Content: your channel name should clarify what gaming content you’ll post. You don’t want your audience to believe they’re getting specific content, but that’s not the case.
- Uniqueness: Unique gaming channel names make it easy for people to remember them and come back to these channels.
- Memorability: Having a simple name that other gamers can remember without much effort will increase the chances they come back to your channel – especially at its early stages.
How Can You Check the Availability of a YouTube Channel Name?
The two best ways to check the availability are:
- Using a name checker site – You can use a site like Namecheckr.com to plug in the name you plan on using. The site will tell you whether the proposed name is available. Many sites also offer this functionality across multiple platforms. Running this check is ideal if you plan on using the same channel name on different sites. The last thing you want is to have to change your channel name to have the same one on different platforms.
Source: Namecheckr.com
- YouTube – the easiest way is to put your potential name into YouTube (in the same area where you’d change the channel name) and wait a few seconds – you’ll either get the green light to change the name (which means the name is available) or an error message indicating someone has already taken the name.
How Important is a Channel Name in Building a Brand?
Thinking about your personal and professional brand is essential. If you want to become a gaming creator who makes money through your content, a brand is one of the best ways.
As a result, a good gaming channel name is very important.
At the same time, be careful you don’t get trapped into a gaming category that’s too narrow. Pigeonholing yourself into this problem might make it difficult to reach a bigger audience.
