Funny thing about 4:08, there's an interesting story that Pippa's stream there involves. Essentially, the stream was entirely about making a fake food-themed vtuber corp using chat suggested character archetypes, personality traits and stream focuses, design elements, and names, and using NovelAI to create that concept character. Some were weaker than others, but they all had some unique designs and names like Mina Vanilla, Sena Bonbon, Dr. Lolime, and a couple others under the faux-brand FlaVR. However, instead of shelving them as just messing around with image gen ai, she gave her community free ownership of the designs right there, and they took off with it. Within 48 hours, community members were re-generating the designs to refine them, created twitter personas for them, and even started streaming with them for those who identified with the characters the most. Now, a couple of them are full-fledged vtubers with rigged models, just from this community project, and are decently successful while considering Pippa their artist mama.

Since they have similar letters, you can combine them to make a unique identity. My vtuber character is Beelzebub Hecate Satanas, which when looking at the wikia there is like... 3-4 results? but no vtuber that says they are BEELZEBUB themselves (at least a female one). good idea spots are within mythology, demonology, cryptology, and other sort of myths like that which are good idea makers imo.

I looked up some Vtubers with a honeybee aesthetic and tried differentiating my concept from others. Some of them have a queen bee motif, meanwhile, my concept has a motif similar to Amber Sugar Cookie from Cookie Run Ovenbreak. Either way, nice vid!

As someone who investigates wordplay in Vtuber names (for Hololive only anyway), they're done a remarkable job with all their talent names. Some of them are pretty simple, and some are absolutely difficult to interpret. I'd love to hold this discussion, but it's not relevant to the video's topic, and there's so much information that I had to house it on a rentry page. Granted, SEO is never a real issue when you have the backing presence of your corporation, website talent information and all. Because of this leverage in presence and popularity that they have, each talent is then granted a very meaningful name that reflects the individual design or group they're related to, strengthening their identity in the minds of viewers.

(love both!!) i could use reincarnated_angel as a username/title with this as well. this is in the full name category for sure, and i’m undecided on this one because it’s unique-ish but again, kind of boring. really though, i’m horrendously attached to reincarnated_angel, and i even go by reinca for short - i havent got any professional advice, so like…. if anyone has opinions i’d take them into consideration ! 🎀 p.s. im really really into lolita and vkei and other jfashion stuffs,, and i aspire to make content on art, music and games 🏃🏻

seo my weakness... google thinks i typoed instead of showing my username... thank you for warning people who can still avoid this problem‼️‼️

The typo thing isn't actually that bad! When I first made my name, Squiiji came up as a typo, but after I made my twitter and youtube Google stopped doing that "did you mean 'squeegee' instead?" thing! It only suggests something as a typo if there aren't many results for it, but you'd be changing that by using it as your name

This gave me more confidence in the name I have chosen. I went through a JOURNEY when coming up with a Vtuber name. At first I went the generic route and chose a Japanese first & last name which was similar sounding to my Irl name. I used that as my Discord name for three years before deciding I wanted to change it. But even after that I still kept choosing a Japanese first and last name. Eventually after doing proper research I narrowed it down to what I want for a name. - Something Japanese (Because I speak some Japanese and plan to further speaking it) - Something Unique Sounding -Something that said something about my character So I came up with "Iruka Adalwolf" It has a Jp name in it, is unique sounding, and the last name has/means Wolf which is my species. Although something I find funny is that my first name means Dolphin so in a way my name means Dolphin Wolf lol.

Another great video! I defiantly fell into most of these pitfalls and am also still in one because my name Incinda sounds to close to Cinder and also is close to the name of a political group so I added NHP to the end meaning non human person.

Thank you for this video. It helped me backtrack and think of a better name. Originally, had Selenus Solace on the table, but after a bit more thinking and Googling, I have thought of one that fits who I'll be once I start getting the ball rolling. Keeping the name to myself in this comment though because I don't want people snatching usernames from me as well as it'd feel self-promo-y if I said it here.

I chose a combination of the gamer tag and pun name thing for my channel/branding based on the Pavlov’s Dog psychological conditioning project! Someone also interpreted it as ‘Pav loves dog’ when I was watching their stream/being active in their chat the other day…. Which is also kinda funny, because I went with a dog-angel person as my basis for my VTuber/PNGTuber design :3

I have the advantage of making a username years ago, have it slightly change over the years and have it basically on every site that I used. and have it be quite simple so people can remember it and not misread or misinterpret. (and occasionly have people get reminded of an old anime)

So i am not a VTuber, i like rigging models as a sometimes hobby, but i do not actively stream in general or make content of the sort. That being said: the part about people usually calling you by the first part of your name NEVER happens for me. I prefer being called Fighting, yet everyone calls me Flower and i constantly need to specify that i'd rather be called Fighting, since everyone sees it as a suffix and not a first name.

I can't decide whether I want to go with a gamer tag type name or a full name like corpo vtubers. I kinda thought about going with one name and putting Sister in front of it because I wanna go for a nun aesthetic, but I worry that won't be as memorable.

This was really interesting. I have my name partially cuz it's been my tag for so long it just feels part of me and have been working my vtuber-sona around it. It's definitely given me ideas for when I update my design in the future. ^.^

Before i became a Vtuber i was thinking rly hard, what my unique gamer name could be so it wouldnt be taken. I was a huge "black butler" fan at this time so i went with "AnnaMikaelis". i think it sound pretty nice and i dont need a "new" first name since im Anna! So when i became a vtuber i used my gamer name, but i´d like to know how its for others.

Off topic but one of my favorite vtuber name is most likely kobo kanaeru, you wont really understand the meaning/pun behind, at first i didnt too, but hen i spelled her name and i found out its based from kobokan air (wave of water? I think) which is very funny imo 😭😭

The SEO aspect is something where I've chatted a few times about how maybe I should figure out a different name if I want to do content since I found out after a couple of years of using this that there was a 90s comic and cartoon that has the normal spelling of this name, which is probably bad.

Loved the video Squiiji! Names are always such a hard thing to choose. I remember changing my original vtuber name because it was hard to brand around it, and sometimes i worry that tentaclesareppl is too long and hard to read despite being more eye catching due to its weird factor😂

Sorry to bombarded you with random nonsense about my WIP probably never gonna see the light of day vtuber concept. So far, I’ve basically settled on havinvv go my character be a faerie dragon type character, and for her name I opted for Merumi (which I intended as a corruption of megami). I’ve been debating whether to give her a last name, but if I do, it would probably just be something simple like Dracofey, to reference her being a mix of the two most iconic fantasy creature categories. Best I can tell, the name Merumi isn’t very common, and I feel it suits my character quite nicely. Granted, it’s possible the name means something that I absolutely wouldn’t want associated with my character, but I haven’t found much in the way of reliable resources on that front.
