In short
- A good name is short, easy to spell after hearing it once, and leaves room to grow.
- Check the handle is free on YouTube and Instagram before you commit.
- Use the patterns below to make your own; the examples are starting points.
Your channel name ends up on your handle, your thumbnails, your link in bio and, one day, your products. These rules and patterns help you pick one you won't want to change in a year.
Five rules for a good name
- Say it out loud: if someone hears it once, can they spell it?
- Keep it short: two or three words, under 20 characters fits handles and thumbnails.
- Leave room to grow: "Priya Cooks" outlasts "Priya's Paneer Recipes".
- Avoid numbers and underscores unless they're part of the idea.
- Check it's free as a YouTube handle, an Instagram username and a store link before you announce it.

Cool and creative names: how to make your own

- Pair one from each list: "Quick" + "Thali" becomes Quick Thali.
- Try a rhyme or a sound repeat: Budget Bites, Fitness Fridays.
- Say the top three aloud to a friend once and ask them to spell them back; keep the one they get right.
