Should I include the game title in my channel name?
Only if the channel will stay focused on that game. A broader name gives you room to change games later.
How do I know if a YouTube gaming name is good?
Say it out loud, type it from memory, and place it in a thumbnail. If all three feel clean, it is stronger.
