It did confuse me searching it. rpx aka rpr is also pretty bad. Possibly more terrible is Porcelainmaid aka Joel, also because he has an unusual ton of popular friends and Collab partners and they all call him Joel, but you wouldn't know who that is unless you know. Morico, aka BatAtVideoGames, same thing, there are more. I've also seen some hideous names, but only being referred to part of it, can't remember from memory though.
"Sakura Amano? Nah those names are too common. Your VTuber name is now George." All jokes aside this is making me reflect a bit on relatability between branding name and design. Thanks for the insight!
Haha yeah it was a small thing that I noticed and thought it was funny but interesting since George is a very uncommon Vtuber name. Now I'm patiently waiting for someone to debut as GeorgeVT lmao
So My vtuber is "Solyset", it's derivated frkm the norwegian word "Sollys" (sunlight), but I really want to make a devil vtuber. Any suggestions on the design?
and then we have Infernal Beelzebub Anarchia Cruul de Apokalypsi, the Opposite of Divine, Prince of Suffering and Torment, Master of all Sin, Conqueror of the Underworld, and King of all Demonkind.
I think short and punchy is best. "Pavolia Reine" sounds like a fantasy novel and pronunciation may be unclear from text; "Kureji Ollie" works in two languages and is easy to say and remember
oh yeah, i always wondered if reine is not a common name? I always hear that it's hard to know the pronounciation, but for us ID bros it's obvious from the get go, so...
Just a side note at 4:47 Maria’s last name is Marionette not Marinette because she’s supposed to be a doll that turned human. (Sorry if someone already pointed it out) Anyways, really enjoyed this video :)
Mysta rias always impress me since its so unique, memorable, and soundlikes "mysterious". Can't believe the guy really just came up with it on the spot lmao
at first when I looked up my planned vtuber name, I was disapointed bc it was already a pintrest acc and cardd account for it..... but then I realized they were *my* pintrest and cardd accounts 😭😭
This could be applied to usernames in general online. Too many fools forget that you can be literally anyone here, at any time. It's all about brand and consistency to people now... Personally my favorite vtuber name I've seen is Hakos Baelz. It's short, unique, memorable and it has a more shortened version, 'bae', which is used by fans. Personally, I have at least two different names on every different platform I use..
I didn't realize at first that she usually says it like "bells." I don't know if that's just the Aussie thing or if it's formally meant to be said that way
Must say, It's safe to say not this help for inspiring vtubers, but this videos will be pretty much the go to guidance in the 5 -10 years in the future. Thank you for all tips and lessons in a really fun videos format!
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.
I've had my "gamer tag" username for several years now, even before vtubing was a thing! (Or at least, not as widespread. Not sure on when vtubers or pngtubers actually started) I guess in that regard I've been pretty lucky! I feel like my name is fairly solid, with great alliteration and flow, though in the past I did discover a company with the same name as well! Woops! Definitely going to look into some of these tricks and resources mentioned, though. Thanks!
Absolutely winning SEO results with my name. Thank you France for forcing me to add something to my name. Plus, it fits the (eventual) bacillus anthracis theme I have planned for my design.
Literally cackling about 7:27, Byte's one of my good vtuber friends and they're always reminding people about the double underscore. Massive shoutouts to Byte. Also, love the model, fantastic, creative stuff!
I used double underscore but found out that it could cause some problems with shoutouts and things because they'd forget there were two underscores. One time I got made a VIP but they made the person with one underscore on twitch a VIP instead lol. I just changed to VT.
When I used to be a Vtuber my name was what I based my model off of "Nevaeh Nova" we had alliteration and a descriptive meaning if you knew what Nevaeh ment (it's backwarda for heaven) and my concept was a Space Angel.
I've been thinking about this for ages tbh, picking a name is the hardest part atm about trying to get into VTubing. I think I finally found a good brand name that's free on everywhere *except* twitch so I'll have to brainstorm some more!
if that account is inactive on twitch youll probably end up beating them in search engine quickly. That's what happened to me. I just added an underscore to the end of my name
this is a good sign for my vocaloid channel (which I plan on eventually streaming music making/singing on, I haven’t posted anything yet but I’ve finished a few songs) because “cicada” is pretty notable and “cicadandaw” (cicada-and-DAW, because I’m cicada and I use a DAW, lmao) and I think this follows pretty closely with the tips you suggested!
I sometimes watch dino-themed vtubers named Trexie Saurus and Lopho Lee. My username was also from a hypothetical name I came up with, Shirakuma Konan, based on some wordplays of of Nanuqsaurus.
@@Squiiji3D In latin america that is normal for us to speaks with our hands xd. It helps illustrate better our emotions as well the points or context we want to come across to the people but instead by words, we do it physically. It is hard for me not to move my hands when speaking. Greeting from Puerto Rico (the same island iron mouse was born)
I started the whole identity of my concept by choosing my name. Being a part of Pippa's fan company FlaVR {that was a funny surprise to see the original stream in the video} I choose my name based of the fruit caimito (Star Apple). With the idea of it being a fusion of 2 fruits with the concept of my model and lore revolving around being a chimera. Outside of finding myself through google without the Vtuber added to it I think I checked off all of the other boxes. Great video
Princess Elyriasiana sounds good, not in use and when someone searches it up, you can probably get the top result if they search for Princess Elyria or your full name.
Not sure if this is a good time to bring up a concept of mine which is a "What if I became a Vtuber" kind of scenario. Basically, this Vtuber has a honeycomb and honeybee aesthetic and they go by "Drone Bee" (in all caps), after the drone bees in what I call the Beehive Hierarchy. 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!
in my case, i combined my chinese name with my filipino culture, as mei is part of my chinese name and bhie is like an endearing nickname used for close friends (and also my family’s nickname for me) so thus my vtuber / cc name became meibhie which is translated like maybe. i love this username so much as it is me and suits me so well in all aspects and i will never ever change it. u can make a lot of puns from it too 🎉🎉 i did this because im half chinese-half filipino :]
@@yayamikiyou can pronounce it like “bee” so my entire name, meibhie, just pronounce it as maybe. and “bhie” , as i said, is from my filipino culture where people as close friends call each other that as an endearing / platonic nickname. there are other variations spelling it but bhie seems cuter to me tbh idm people asking me how to pronounce it, im getting used to it and i dont mind telling them how to pronounce it! :’) its a little icebreaker when i arrive
i feel combinig 2 words to make a unique identity is great, especially if you use a "play-on-words" like mine is Beelzebuddy as it is a play on words of Beelzebub and Buddy. 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.
Ohh wait you are the artist that makes 3d pixel models! The internet is truly small, one of the vtuber kids I have wanted to commission one of your models haha
Asked a friend what nickname came to mind for me and got something completely different than my current user so I went with it and added vt so I'd be able to have it on all platforms. Still have to make a pngtuber or something for it but I did make the design a while ago. Watching these videos feels good at solidifing that I'm happy with what I've done so far tho so thank you for making them
I went with Vera Nika for my VTuber name. It was supposed to be a simple break up of the name Veronika. I went with Vera Nika instead of Vero Nika. I think it flows. . somehow lol. I have been having fun with it : D This is yet another informative video. Thanks, Squiiji.
Thank you so much!! I've been looking for resources on how to pick my name! The only problem is that all of my prospective vtuber designs ended up developing names and personalities on their own, so I've been having a hard time changing them lol
The intro is perfect because seeing the thumbnail, I immediately thought of vtubers I've seen who mash together super common japanese words for their name (coughcough yuki, hana, neko, momo, kuro, shiro). Please, there are so many more words out there to use.
I’ve been thinking about vtubing one day and sort of “playing” a character, but I wouldn’t want to change my username so I’m kinda lost lol. I think it’d be weird to have my username (sinc3r3ly) but then be playing a character who has a name
"My name isn't Perfect by any means [...]" ...mine on the other hand is! ^^ Hi! I've kind of lucked out in my choice of name in that in embodies a lot of what you talk about, and that I managed to get it on twitch and (almost) on twitt-- x (and when I search it, my twitch channel was on top ...just don't check the image tab). I probably won't get _as_ lucky if I try on other platforms, but I've found that a decent 'suffix' like what you're talking about is "Plays", ofc depending on what one plans on do with their content, but that's an easy way to still have 'your' name everywhere. Also, thank you for making these videos on Vtubing! I've been binging them and they've definitely given me food for thought as I'm planning my 'real' iteration of avatar, rather than the fairly standard vroid one I'm using atm. :)
It’s also okay to have a stupid reason for your name. I put goddamn “hewwo” in my name because I wanted creators I raided to have to say “hewwo”. I may be cringe, but I am free ╰(*´︶`*)╯
Absolutely perfect timing for this to pop up. I was having some doubts about my vtuber name and this really helped. Also proves definitely getting my data stolen, but oh well😊.
YESSSSS OMG ALL YOUR POINTS ARE SPOT ON!!!! This is exactly why I changed my name spelling from EOS to EOIS because I just couldnt get good SEO on it and even with suffixes everything was taken on platforms. I wanted a name that was available on Twitter, Twitch, Tiktok, and TH-cam (sadly instagram is taken smh) and with my previous username people kept calling me "Sely" cause it was EOSely (My name is EOS Elypsis, so Eos plus the first part of my last name) so I opted for EOISvt. Your video is so informative and helpful and I loved it!!
Something I’ve noticed for myself is accessibility in creating a name (I’m less in the VTubing space but with usernames in general) My un is ObnoxiousAvian pretty much everywhere- but I have two close friends that have dyslexia and I usually opt to give them the name to copy and paste rather than writing organically because “obnoxious” didn’t end up being super friendly for that issue
in my rebrand ive decided to call myself "Near" and going by nearlyvampiric as a username instead of vampiregoth since i have the struggle of it being taken by inactive accounts as well. my idea was that my new design is very lightly based off the batty slime from slime rancher and they're "not a vampire but nearly." (official description from the game) i guess i'm kinda leaning into the pun kind of name, i'm not sure how well it reads though. i just haven't seen many slime vtubers and i thought it would be a cool idea
I find it quite endearing. From an outsider's point of view, your username wouldn't come off as being a pun unless given context but I do like the idea. And nearlyvampiric is simple and memorable.
For me i (kinda) won out on SEO because of username unavailability. When Meadowing is taken i use Meadowings. But Meadowing gets you nothing but in Meadowings i show up instantly
Personally I chose the online name ShelbyLikesStuff because of how it is, you got a name and basic descriptor, I’ve also been recognised in comments because of my name
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. ^.^
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.
Fantastic video! hooked the entire time🤩 Okay in retrospect, I think I utterly failed with my name on just about every point you mentioned hahaha. WHERE WERE YOU TWO YEARS AGO IJI?! Love your channel, been binge-watching every video and looking forward to more of your stuff!
I think I did a good job with my name. Lowkey Loki is kinda fun to pronounce and it kinda reflects me (most of my content is kinda low effort and is really just me having fun). Yeah, there are a lot of people with similar versions of my name, but I haven't found any that do the same thing as me, whether it's the edits I make on TikTok or the gacha content I make on here. Even second name (on TikTok), The Loco System, is really good because I haven't found any other tiktokers with that name and it says a little about me (I'm a DID system and I'm Hispanic, hence why "Loco").
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
Thank you for this video, Squiji. When I created this channel, I didn't gave enough attention for the name (Jamsy Dnai), so I thought it was fine that way. But after I noticed that were many channels with that name, I used an internal joke with my last surname, extending it. I hope it works (and covince people to not call me "Dante" because there is another famous vtuber around here with this exact name).
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.
i'm so happy i came up with a short and memorable name that hasn't been used yet, not even by any regular youtubers. it's a name that means a lot to me personally, as well.
I just went with the same name I've had for years, it was never taken in any names or socials so it seemed like a solid choice xD people do have issues pronouncing it sometimes but it makes for fun interactions :3
I’m sticking with my current name: Kogawa Yuri, because I was inspired by agency vtubers and I quite like this name! Even there are tons of Vtubers named Yuri, I wanna try getting myself out there as an aspiring indie Vtuber anyway! Thanks for the tips tho! :)
I was just thinking about vtuber names the other day! Thank you so much for the tips. Is there any chance you could speak on color theory and the psychology behind it?
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)
Advice please: My gamertag is Be_Khaos and I have that name on literally everything (YT, Discord, Steam, Playstation, Twitch, Bluesky (etc)) because it's unique to me and tied to my character. I only did TH-cam as a personal hobby while I was studying game development at university, but now that I've graduated I want to take it more seriously and grow as an entertainer. I'm even going as far as to make my own Vtuber model (hence how I found your channel) and eventually start streaming on Twitch once I've made one. But my question is: Should I drop the "_" in my name and just go by BeKhaos or Bekhaos or (insert suggestion here) or just stick to a simple "Khaos" to make better use of SEO and discoverability? Be_Khaos made sense at the time because Khaos is my online alias and what everyone calls me, so it sounded cool adding Be in front of it (like a nod to me roleplaying a character whenever I logged in) and the _ was just to separate the two words for readabilities sake... But I know that SEO doesn't work way, so I feel like my name might hinder my growth unless I change it. Please, your opinions, suggestions and thoughts would be greatly appreciated. P.S. Currently binge watching all your videos and taking notes. You've already saved me from making so many mistakes on my character's design and pointing me towards a more unique and identifiable persona. Thank you. P.S.2: Would you recommend a 2D or 3D model (which one is yours? I want to guess 3D because of all the hand motion). I have some experience with 3D modelling and animation, but I know that making a 2D or 3D Vtuber is going to be a challenge in it's own right, so I'm not bothered about which technology/art I need to learn in order to make my model.
my original idea was "Rika" which i would further on use as "rikachuu" but i guess it never stuck, then kaze kumori (which is now just kaze with a really not-used last name) i guess im yet to come up with something that makes more sense (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.
kinda stumbled on this and found it interesting from a general online username pov, since im not a streamer or vtuber. I tend to go by Upsedriss online, which is a combination of upset and the, ahem, "iconic and well known" Star Wars character Sedriss. I'm not really active on any social media besides a few discord servers, and literally everyone just calls me by my real first name to the point it feels weird to be adressed by the username now 😂 only reason it even became Upsedriss despite always being referred to as "Dennis" anyway is because my previous joke name was deemed too inappropriate. There's another Star Wars character named Carnor Jax, and i thought at one point it'd be hilarious to change my server nicknames to "Carnor Jax off Daily". Upsedriss was the best sounding option from my list of awful star wars character based joke names. I was not gonna get away with the Plo Koon inspired Plollercoaster tyKoon.
I mean, the name I currently have works really damn well with SEO, and having the names everywhere. The issue that sort of arises is that I'm planning on becoming a vtuber, and the name I have doesn't really have anything to do with the idea I have for it.
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.
BAHAHA **nervously sweats** 😭 this made me laugh really hard ironically- loved how educationally informative the video was, and I hope people realise how much they can better market themselves in the future. If you don't mind, would you be okay letting me clip and credit the first 20 seconds of your video? I would love to use this for a potential video in the future :)
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.
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😂
not a vtuber, just an artist who sometimes breaks out my hommade model to avoid putting on makeup when I have a deadline and want to stream to make myself work instead of check my phone or watch youtube, but username optimisation is def really nice, I love that when I google myself with my username I take up the whole first page of google results, it means I'm really easy to find, plus my username is two proper nouns so spelling is also easy for people
To ur last tip, not spec a vtuber scenario but i had an old username, EnchantedOcelot and i was so suprised by the amount of people who chose to call me Enchanted.
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.
I made this name ChibiDaisy as my ign a while ago but now ik about ChibiDoki and im wondering if i should try to change my name or if maybe it wont matter and i can just stick to it
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.
I've been making a list of names I'm comfortable with and then I went and googled the whole name, searched for it on the vtuber wiki and then I split it up into it's parts and googled those seperately if one part of it had too many results it went out of the list to a point where I now have I think 3 options left rn but can't decide- but at least ik it will be a name no one else uses or only has a part that not too many people use and one part that no one seems to use ever (bc one part is taken out of my irl name bc it's important for me to keep that in there XD)
I went for the gamertag route but it also helps that when I concentrate in painting I do stay silent until someone sends a notification or something that reminds me i'm streaming xD
I used to go by Tiny Bishie because I'm tiny and Bishie was given to me by a friend because I was into anime and cosplay, but I'm Hispanic and after a while I decided I needed to change my name to something else and it took me a while, but I've finally settled on A Tiny Gamer, going by Tiny for short which I feel suits me much better. Also on some sites or games I'd try to type Bishie and get banned or told that curse words can not be used for a name. Even some friends I found out were afraid to tell me that they thought I was using a version of the word b*tch, but doing alt spelling to get around the censorship. Doh! When I encountered sites that had A Tiny Gamer taken I just added 'Its' before the A and that's worked just fine for me.
Not a vtuber, but I post art on the internet and I love my username (it's the same I use here on yt!). I love silly beings that fly. Bird, bats, bugs, sky players, hawks from mha... That's what it means
This helps, but im still trying to figure things out. Im a male vtuber who uses a female demon model. I dont have a 2d model yet since im currently on a waitlist. Im trying to think what name would go best with a demon sorceress voiced by a man
I've been struggling to choose my vtuber name. I have a gamertag I've used since I was 8 years old, but it has nothing in common with my vtuber's theme, so I'm uncertain if I should actually use it. Friends recommended I call myself Daddy Soup, but it seems a little weird (my theme is chicken noodle soup, gamertag has Daddy in it, after the big daddy from bioshock). I have to figure it out soon since her concept art is being drawn up as I type this :') Just Soup seemed a little wrong since, while they aren't vtubers, there are some popular streamers already with similar if not the same name. The likelihood of me ever getting it as my tag is nigh impossible.
Girl_Dm_ is probably the craziest vtuber name that made it against all odds
Oh for sure! It's funny seeing her w/ new collab partners deciding whether to call her "girl" or "dm" haha
@@Squiiji3D dont they call her Luna?
It did confuse me searching it. rpx aka rpr is also pretty bad. Possibly more terrible is Porcelainmaid aka Joel, also because he has an unusual ton of popular friends and Collab partners and they all call him Joel, but you wouldn't know who that is unless you know. Morico, aka BatAtVideoGames, same thing, there are more. I've also seen some hideous names, but only being referred to part of it, can't remember from memory though.
@@darklazerx7913it's Jowol. And rpr is a pro esports player, his name was not chosen for a vtuber model.
@@darklazerx7913 The way they found around it for SEO is interesting, spelling his name as jowol
"Sakura Amano? Nah those names are too common. Your VTuber name is now George."
All jokes aside this is making me reflect a bit on relatability between branding name and design. Thanks for the insight!
LMAO I didn't know if anyone would really notice the George search but I'm glad you did haha but I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Haha yeah it was a small thing that I noticed and thought it was funny but interesting since George is a very uncommon Vtuber name. Now I'm patiently waiting for someone to debut as GeorgeVT lmao
Sakura George
Hold on a sec…
So
My vtuber is "Solyset", it's derivated frkm the norwegian word "Sollys" (sunlight), but I really want to make a devil vtuber.
Any suggestions on the design?
and then we have Infernal Beelzebub Anarchia Cruul de Apokalypsi, the Opposite of Divine, Prince of Suffering and Torment, Master of all Sin, Conqueror of the Underworld, and King of all Demonkind.
I don't know what you mean, Bubi- Iron Mouses sidekick seems pretty memorable to me
aka , Bubi 😂😂
better known as bubi lol
I thought she said her name was Sock Romano. I paused a bit and wondered why that name is not unique enough. XD
Lmao that'd be a pretty silly (but memorable!!) name
I think short and punchy is best. "Pavolia Reine" sounds like a fantasy novel and pronunciation may be unclear from text; "Kureji Ollie" works in two languages and is easy to say and remember
funny thing my oc's name is kureji..........
oh yeah, i always wondered if reine is not a common name? I always hear that it's hard to know the pronounciation, but for us ID bros it's obvious from the get go, so...
As a non English native, Petra's name is a nightmare
The fact that I first read Ravioli and then Pavioli and then Paviolia.... I had to read It four times to understand....
the cool thing is that "Kureji" sounds similar to crazy, which is nice.
Vtubers be like:
"Hi I'm Yukimikoku Shinoto and this is probably the first and last time you'll ever hear from me"
Just a side note at 4:47 Maria’s last name is Marionette not Marinette because she’s supposed to be a doll that turned human. (Sorry if someone already pointed it out) Anyways, really enjoyed this video :)
Oh whoopsie I didn't notice that, thanks for letting me know!
Mysta rias always impress me since its so unique, memorable, and soundlikes "mysterious". Can't believe the guy really just came up with it on the spot lmao
Nobody will beat that name fr
at first when I looked up my planned vtuber name, I was disapointed bc it was already a pintrest acc and cardd account for it.....
but then I realized they were *my* pintrest and cardd accounts 😭😭
LMAO THAT'S TOO FUNNY
This could be applied to usernames in general online. Too many fools forget that you can be literally anyone here, at any time.
It's all about brand and consistency to people now...
Personally my favorite vtuber name I've seen is Hakos Baelz.
It's short, unique, memorable and it has a more shortened version, 'bae', which is used by fans.
Personally, I have at least two different names on every different platform I use..
I agree! You have infinite freedom in changing a name, and making the most of it can take some work! Baelz ABSOLUTELY has a great, memorable name
I didn't realize at first that she usually says it like "bells." I don't know if that's just the Aussie thing or if it's formally meant to be said that way
@@realQuestion Just an accent, her song 'Play Dice' says bae as a lyric in it.
plus "hakos" can be rearranged into "khaos", which is exactly what she represents
Thank you for your insight, jeff brownstain.
Must say, It's safe to say not this help for inspiring vtubers, but this videos will be pretty much the go to guidance in the 5 -10 years in the future.
Thank you for all tips and lessons in a really fun videos format!
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.
That’s so cool and wholesome at the same time
I've had my "gamer tag" username for several years now, even before vtubing was a thing! (Or at least, not as widespread. Not sure on when vtubers or pngtubers actually started) I guess in that regard I've been pretty lucky! I feel like my name is fairly solid, with great alliteration and flow, though in the past I did discover a company with the same name as well! Woops!
Definitely going to look into some of these tricks and resources mentioned, though. Thanks!
Absolutely winning SEO results with my name. Thank you France for forcing me to add something to my name. Plus, it fits the (eventual) bacillus anthracis theme I have planned for my design.
Thank you for doing these videos. I don't plan becoming a vtuber but i like the culture around it.
Literally cackling about 7:27, Byte's one of my good vtuber friends and they're always reminding people about the double underscore. Massive shoutouts to Byte.
Also, love the model, fantastic, creative stuff!
I used double underscore but found out that it could cause some problems with shoutouts and things because they'd forget there were two underscores. One time I got made a VIP but they made the person with one underscore on twitch a VIP instead lol. I just changed to VT.
When I used to be a Vtuber my name was what I based my model off of "Nevaeh Nova" we had alliteration and a descriptive meaning if you knew what Nevaeh ment (it's backwarda for heaven) and my concept was a Space Angel.
Making up a word and pretending its simple and easy to pronounce (thumbs up)
Honestly a good strat too lmao
*cough cough **_wheeze_*
I've been thinking about this for ages tbh, picking a name is the hardest part atm about trying to get into VTubing. I think I finally found a good brand name that's free on everywhere *except* twitch so I'll have to brainstorm some more!
if that account is inactive on twitch youll probably end up beating them in search engine quickly. That's what happened to me. I just added an underscore to the end of my name
this is a good sign for my vocaloid channel (which I plan on eventually streaming music making/singing on, I haven’t posted anything yet but I’ve finished a few songs) because “cicada” is pretty notable and “cicadandaw” (cicada-and-DAW, because I’m cicada and I use a DAW, lmao) and I think this follows pretty closely with the tips you suggested!
I think a dinosaur themed Vtuber would fit me well. How does Deeno Sara sound? Nickname probably Deeno
That'd be a funny play on words lmao
I sometimes watch dino-themed vtubers named Trexie Saurus and Lopho Lee.
My username was also from a hypothetical name I came up with, Shirakuma Konan, based on some wordplays of of Nanuqsaurus.
If I'm making one, I'd name mine SCREEEEEEEE. If the username is taken, simply add more E
I love that you move your hands around a lot in these videos >♡< it's mesmerizing in a way 💜💜💜
Thank you haha I'm a hand-talker so it'd feel weird to me nit having them (:
@@Squiiji3D In latin america that is normal for us to speaks with our hands xd. It helps illustrate better our emotions as well the points or context we want to come across to the people but instead by words, we do it physically. It is hard for me not to move my hands when speaking. Greeting from Puerto Rico (the same island iron mouse was born)
I started the whole identity of my concept by choosing my name. Being a part of Pippa's fan company FlaVR {that was a funny surprise to see the original stream in the video} I choose my name based of the fruit caimito (Star Apple). With the idea of it being a fusion of 2 fruits with the concept of my model and lore revolving around being a chimera. Outside of finding myself through google without the Vtuber added to it I think I checked off all of the other boxes. Great video
*stares nervously at ‘Princess Sarina Aria Elysia’*
Princess Elyriasiana sounds good, not in use and when someone searches it up, you can probably get the top result if they search for Princess Elyria or your full name.
Not sure if this is a good time to bring up a concept of mine which is a "What if I became a Vtuber" kind of scenario. Basically, this Vtuber has a honeycomb and honeybee aesthetic and they go by "Drone Bee" (in all caps), after the drone bees in what I call the Beehive Hierarchy.
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!
in my case, i combined my chinese name with my filipino culture, as mei is part of my chinese name and bhie is like an endearing nickname used for close friends (and also my family’s nickname for me) so thus my vtuber / cc name became meibhie which is translated like maybe. i love this username so much as it is me and suits me so well in all aspects and i will never ever change it. u can make a lot of puns from it too 🎉🎉
i did this because im half chinese-half filipino :]
Bhie? Sounds unique, but how do you pronounce it?
@@yayamikiyou can pronounce it like “bee” so my entire name, meibhie, just pronounce it as maybe. and “bhie” , as i said, is from my filipino culture where people as close friends call each other that as an endearing / platonic nickname. there are other variations spelling it but bhie seems cuter to me
tbh idm people asking me how to pronounce it, im getting used to it and i dont mind telling them how to pronounce it! :’) its a little icebreaker when i arrive
i feel combinig 2 words to make a unique identity is great, especially if you use a "play-on-words" like mine is Beelzebuddy as it is a play on words of Beelzebub and Buddy. 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.
Coni Confetti is one of the most unique vtuber names I've followed so far
Ohh wait you are the artist that makes 3d pixel models! The internet is truly small, one of the vtuber kids I have wanted to commission one of your models haha
I am! Aw I hope I'll get a chance to work with them (:
your username is cool!
@@sadzpea Awn thank you!
Asked a friend what nickname came to mind for me and got something completely different than my current user so I went with it and added vt so I'd be able to have it on all platforms. Still have to make a pngtuber or something for it but I did make the design a while ago. Watching these videos feels good at solidifing that I'm happy with what I've done so far tho so thank you for making them
I went with Vera Nika for my VTuber name. It was supposed to be a simple break up of the name Veronika. I went with Vera Nika instead of Vero Nika. I think it flows. . somehow lol. I have been having fun with it : D This is yet another informative video. Thanks, Squiiji.
Thank you so much!! I've been looking for resources on how to pick my name!
The only problem is that all of my prospective vtuber designs ended up developing names and personalities on their own, so I've been having a hard time changing them lol
I'm planning on being full time vtuber (once I'm out of school ofc) and this is helping me a bit with the name :D thanks for the tips!
this is super helpful thank you!! ive been struggling with a name for a while and this vid dropped at just the right time
Of course! I hope you find one!
The intro is perfect because seeing the thumbnail, I immediately thought of vtubers I've seen who mash together super common japanese words for their name (coughcough yuki, hana, neko, momo, kuro, shiro). Please, there are so many more words out there to use.
I’ve been thinking about vtubing one day and sort of “playing” a character, but I wouldn’t want to change my username so I’m kinda lost lol. I think it’d be weird to have my username (sinc3r3ly) but then be playing a character who has a name
Pookie, the name I use online is like already the first 4 or so results that pop up. I'm gonna stick to that, plus it sounds nice😭
"My name isn't Perfect by any means [...]" ...mine on the other hand is! ^^
Hi! I've kind of lucked out in my choice of name in that in embodies a lot of what you talk about, and that I managed to get it on twitch and (almost) on twitt-- x (and when I search it, my twitch channel was on top ...just don't check the image tab). I probably won't get _as_ lucky if I try on other platforms, but I've found that a decent 'suffix' like what you're talking about is "Plays", ofc depending on what one plans on do with their content, but that's an easy way to still have 'your' name everywhere.
Also, thank you for making these videos on Vtubing! I've been binging them and they've definitely given me food for thought as I'm planning my 'real' iteration of avatar, rather than the fairly standard vroid one I'm using atm. :)
It’s also okay to have a stupid reason for your name. I put goddamn “hewwo” in my name because I wanted creators I raided to have to say “hewwo”. I may be cringe, but I am free ╰(*´︶`*)╯
Honestly that's a really great bit haha I'm here for it
Absolutely perfect timing for this to pop up. I was having some doubts about my vtuber name and this really helped. Also proves definitely getting my data stolen, but oh well😊.
Unrelated note but I love your model! I adore inky cap mushrooms and your design is hella cute!!
I really enjoy watching your videos. Your model looks great and your info is good. I´m always watching your content to relax :)
YESSSSS OMG ALL YOUR POINTS ARE SPOT ON!!!!
This is exactly why I changed my name spelling from EOS to EOIS because I just couldnt get good SEO on it and even with suffixes everything was taken on platforms. I wanted a name that was available on Twitter, Twitch, Tiktok, and TH-cam (sadly instagram is taken smh) and with my previous username people kept calling me "Sely" cause it was EOSely (My name is EOS Elypsis, so Eos plus the first part of my last name) so I opted for EOISvt.
Your video is so informative and helpful and I loved it!!
Something I’ve noticed for myself is accessibility in creating a name (I’m less in the VTubing space but with usernames in general) My un is ObnoxiousAvian pretty much everywhere- but I have two close friends that have dyslexia and I usually opt to give them the name to copy and paste rather than writing organically because “obnoxious” didn’t end up being super friendly for that issue
in my rebrand ive decided to call myself "Near" and going by nearlyvampiric as a username instead of vampiregoth since i have the struggle of it being taken by inactive accounts as well. my idea was that my new design is very lightly based off the batty slime from slime rancher and they're "not a vampire but nearly." (official description from the game)
i guess i'm kinda leaning into the pun kind of name, i'm not sure how well it reads though. i just haven't seen many slime vtubers and i thought it would be a cool idea
I find it quite endearing. From an outsider's point of view, your username wouldn't come off as being a pun unless given context but I do like the idea. And nearlyvampiric is simple and memorable.
When I hear the name Near, I think of the white haired kid from Death Note.
For me i (kinda) won out on SEO because of username unavailability. When Meadowing is taken i use Meadowings. But Meadowing gets you nothing but in Meadowings i show up instantly
Personally I chose the online name ShelbyLikesStuff because of how it is, you got a name and basic descriptor, I’ve also been recognised in comments because of my name
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. ^.^
I really enjoy watching your videos! They are extremely helpful and so informative! Thank you for making these videos! ❤
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.
Fantastic video! hooked the entire time🤩
Okay in retrospect, I think I utterly failed with my name on just about every point you mentioned hahaha. WHERE WERE YOU TWO YEARS AGO IJI?!
Love your channel, been binge-watching every video and looking forward to more of your stuff!
This video popped up randomly on my feed but love the vibe!
😆the start of the video bit + your avatar looks really matched that energy 👍
I think I did a good job with my name. Lowkey Loki is kinda fun to pronounce and it kinda reflects me (most of my content is kinda low effort and is really just me having fun). Yeah, there are a lot of people with similar versions of my name, but I haven't found any that do the same thing as me, whether it's the edits I make on TikTok or the gacha content I make on here. Even second name (on TikTok), The Loco System, is really good because I haven't found any other tiktokers with that name and it says a little about me (I'm a DID system and I'm Hispanic, hence why "Loco").
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
Thank you for this video, Squiji. When I created this channel, I didn't gave enough attention for the name (Jamsy Dnai), so I thought it was fine that way. But after I noticed that were many channels with that name, I used an internal joke with my last surname, extending it. I hope it works (and covince people to not call me "Dante" because there is another famous vtuber around here with this exact name).
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.
i'm so happy i came up with a short and memorable name that hasn't been used yet, not even by any regular youtubers. it's a name that means a lot to me personally, as well.
I just went with the same name I've had for years, it was never taken in any names or socials so it seemed like a solid choice xD people do have issues pronouncing it sometimes but it makes for fun interactions :3
I’m sticking with my current name: Kogawa Yuri, because I was inspired by agency vtubers and I quite like this name! Even there are tons of Vtubers named Yuri, I wanna try getting myself out there as an aspiring indie Vtuber anyway! Thanks for the tips tho! :)
Very helpful video, thank you!
I was just thinking about vtuber names the other day! Thank you so much for the tips. Is there any chance you could speak on color theory and the psychology behind it?
Oo I could see about putting together a more in-depth color theory video, thank you for the suggestion!
2:27 Andy popping surprised me a bit x)
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)
Advice please:
My gamertag is Be_Khaos and I have that name on literally everything (YT, Discord, Steam, Playstation, Twitch, Bluesky (etc)) because it's unique to me and tied to my character. I only did TH-cam as a personal hobby while I was studying game development at university, but now that I've graduated I want to take it more seriously and grow as an entertainer. I'm even going as far as to make my own Vtuber model (hence how I found your channel) and eventually start streaming on Twitch once I've made one.
But my question is: Should I drop the "_" in my name and just go by BeKhaos or Bekhaos or (insert suggestion here) or just stick to a simple "Khaos" to make better use of SEO and discoverability?
Be_Khaos made sense at the time because Khaos is my online alias and what everyone calls me, so it sounded cool adding Be in front of it (like a nod to me roleplaying a character whenever I logged in) and the _ was just to separate the two words for readabilities sake... But I know that SEO doesn't work way, so I feel like my name might hinder my growth unless I change it.
Please, your opinions, suggestions and thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Currently binge watching all your videos and taking notes. You've already saved me from making so many mistakes on my character's design and pointing me towards a more unique and identifiable persona. Thank you.
P.S.2: Would you recommend a 2D or 3D model (which one is yours? I want to guess 3D because of all the hand motion). I have some experience with 3D modelling and animation, but I know that making a 2D or 3D Vtuber is going to be a challenge in it's own right, so I'm not bothered about which technology/art I need to learn in order to make my model.
my original idea was "Rika" which i would further on use as "rikachuu" but i guess it never stuck, then kaze kumori (which is now just kaze with a really not-used last name) i guess im yet to come up with something that makes more sense (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! I honestly never thought of any similarity between incinda/cinder they sound plenty enough different to me!
I completely agree, MOST if not everyone I interact with call me Rin. Only one person really calls me by my full username (And properly pronounces it)
kinda stumbled on this and found it interesting from a general online username pov, since im not a streamer or vtuber. I tend to go by Upsedriss online, which is a combination of upset and the, ahem, "iconic and well known" Star Wars character Sedriss. I'm not really active on any social media besides a few discord servers, and literally everyone just calls me by my real first name to the point it feels weird to be adressed by the username now 😂
only reason it even became Upsedriss despite always being referred to as "Dennis" anyway is because my previous joke name was deemed too inappropriate. There's another Star Wars character named Carnor Jax, and i thought at one point it'd be hilarious to change my server nicknames to "Carnor Jax off Daily". Upsedriss was the best sounding option from my list of awful star wars character based joke names. I was not gonna get away with the Plo Koon inspired Plollercoaster tyKoon.
I mean, the name I currently have works really damn well with SEO, and having the names everywhere. The issue that sort of arises is that I'm planning on becoming a vtuber, and the name I have doesn't really have anything to do with the idea I have for it.
Somehow the username I wanted for twitch was “unavailable” even tho I literally could not find anyone with the same username as my current username
I've heard other having a tough time w/ that, dang I hope it opens up for you!
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.
TOCCOLO is my Vtuber name, is simply perfect!
BAHAHA **nervously sweats** 😭 this made me laugh really hard ironically- loved how educationally informative the video was, and I hope people realise how much they can better market themselves in the future. If you don't mind, would you be okay letting me clip and credit the first 20 seconds of your video? I would love to use this for a potential video in the future :)
Ah I'm glad you liked it haha and yea I'f be a-okay w/ you doing that! (:
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.
Well, I guess I made a good choice ! Also didn't check my SEO in a while, and just saw I'm finally showing up on Google :D
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😂
Great advice again, the lil skip at the begining was great.😊
not a vtuber, just an artist who sometimes breaks out my hommade model to avoid putting on makeup when I have a deadline and want to stream to make myself work instead of check my phone or watch youtube, but username optimisation is def really nice, I love that when I google myself with my username I take up the whole first page of google results, it means I'm really easy to find, plus my username is two proper nouns so spelling is also easy for people
Semi is usually what I gi by. The Enigma part matches kinda so my name means Half Mystery. Or occult 18 wheeler truck if you wanna say my name wrong
*searches my name on Google*
Yeah, that tracks.
To ur last tip, not spec a vtuber scenario but i had an old username, EnchantedOcelot and i was so suprised by the amount of people who chose to call me Enchanted.
It's like calling The Amazing Spiderman as "Amazing"
Me when I look up my name on Google and ONLY my stuff shoes up and stuff I've reposted sometimes. I was so very happy about this too
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.
I made this name ChibiDaisy as my ign a while ago but now ik about ChibiDoki and im wondering if i should try to change my name or if maybe it wont matter and i can just stick to it
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.
I've been making a list of names I'm comfortable with and then I went and googled the whole name, searched for it on the vtuber wiki and then I split it up into it's parts and googled those seperately if one part of it had too many results it went out of the list to a point where I now have I think 3 options left rn but can't decide- but at least ik it will be a name no one else uses or only has a part that not too many people use and one part that no one seems to use ever (bc one part is taken out of my irl name bc it's important for me to keep that in there XD)
I went for the gamertag route but it also helps that when I concentrate in painting I do stay silent until someone sends a notification or something that reminds me i'm streaming xD
I used to go by Tiny Bishie because I'm tiny and Bishie was given to me by a friend because I was into anime and cosplay, but I'm Hispanic and after a while I decided I needed to change my name to something else and it took me a while, but I've finally settled on A Tiny Gamer, going by Tiny for short which I feel suits me much better. Also on some sites or games I'd try to type Bishie and get banned or told that curse words can not be used for a name. Even some friends I found out were afraid to tell me that they thought I was using a version of the word b*tch, but doing alt spelling to get around the censorship. Doh!
When I encountered sites that had A Tiny Gamer taken I just added 'Its' before the A and that's worked just fine for me.
I made my usename when i was 6
I got attached to it and i am keeping it
I love it it suits me
Thou i am not sure if others think its good
I AM trying to find a name that is easier to remember and it's so hard xD Thank you for the tips hahaha
My name is really long, but it works because it sounds catchy AdrianTheScienceMan (sing it to the tune of Bill Nye's theme) at least I think
Ove here!
Definitely thought of my name 🗣👍
You look like a fun guy.
Me with no intentions of becoming a vtuber: Interesting!
This was a great video!!
Informative and entertaining
I always think of changing my online name, but I’ve been Trucker Dave for over a decade so I just never want to give it up.
Not a vtuber, but I post art on the internet and I love my username (it's the same I use here on yt!). I love silly beings that fly. Bird, bats, bugs, sky players, hawks from mha... That's what it means
This helps, but im still trying to figure things out. Im a male vtuber who uses a female demon model. I dont have a 2d model yet since im currently on a waitlist. Im trying to think what name would go best with a demon sorceress voiced by a man
monica kuragari? Demon(ica), and kuragari means darkness in Japanese
I've been struggling to choose my vtuber name. I have a gamertag I've used since I was 8 years old, but it has nothing in common with my vtuber's theme, so I'm uncertain if I should actually use it. Friends recommended I call myself Daddy Soup, but it seems a little weird (my theme is chicken noodle soup, gamertag has Daddy in it, after the big daddy from bioshock). I have to figure it out soon since her concept art is being drawn up as I type this :') Just Soup seemed a little wrong since, while they aren't vtubers, there are some popular streamers already with similar if not the same name. The likelihood of me ever getting it as my tag is nigh impossible.
