My nephew spent an entire Thanksgiving dinner debating channel names with his cousins instead of eating, and by dessert he’d landed on “Cardboard Kingdom” for a channel about building things out of, unsurprisingly, cardboard. Two years and forty thousand subscribers later, it turns out an eleven-year-old’s Thanksgiving brainstorm was a better naming process than most adults manage in a week.

Your channel name is the first thing anyone sees, and it matters more than people give it credit for. Here are 100 ideas across a range of niches to help you land on yours.
