To change YouTube Channel Name to another name you want is easy as A, B, C, D, and if you adhere to the basic instructions given in this article, then trust me when I say you’ll have a new name and profile picture in few seconds.
It is not difficult to change provided you have a Gmail account and a good internet connection.
Your channel name is what people recognize you with and what they can easily search for to get to your channel page, so making it simple and correct will make it possible to be searched for easily.
When you first create a channel on YouTube, you can choose a channel name and profile picture for YouTube that’s different from your Google Account.
Your YouTube channel name and picture will be your public identity on YouTube and all publicly attributable actions will display your YouTube channel name and profile picture. So you can see how important it is to set up your channel name and profile picture completely.

Youtube Channel Name
Your YouTube channel name and profile picture are not the same as your Google Account name and picture (you can change your channel name and profile picture on YouTube. It does not affect your Google account’s name and profile picture).
All of your channel Name activity will still be stored with your Google Account and used in accordance with Youtube privacy policy. Your Google Account is always your primary account; the YouTube name is only your public persona on YouTube.
If you change your channel name and picture, it will only be visible on YouTube. You can make changes to your Google account name and picture here (with no changes made to your YouTube channel name).
Have it in mind that Changing your name will remove your verification badge if you already have one. So I suggest you leave your channel name the way it is if you are already verified on YouTube.
