I think being sincere and authentic is a winning strategy. I didn’t know that about the channel name either. ❤ I’m with ya regardless of the name. You keep er goin!!❤❤
G'day Trace, Happy New Year Mate! I say it's your channel do what you want. We will be here with you along the way. If you don't like it you can always change it back. TFS! Blessings to you my friend. Have a blessed week. ✝🙏🏼💕
@@CynthiasCraftsandmore thanks matey, I feel the same! I am leaning towards sticking with it. It is my constant motivation to stay with it 🙏🏻🥰 appreciate your thought 🙏🏻 xx take it easy love Trace
@@OffGridGrandmacre-zs5eu yeah I agree, was most concerned about it being confusing, yet as you say, I can always change it back! Will see what the day brings. Take it easy mate and thanks for your two cents worth 🙏🏻 xx love Trace
I think that's a great idea, let's people know what you are all about. You can always change it back. My channel used to be called The Adventures of Bernice and Bernard. Bernice passed and I had to change it. I wasn't sure at first how Fuff would go because some people think it's another way of saying the F word, but making a video explaining what it means and saying it a lot, I'm happy with the name.😊
@@fufffufffuff Romina this is great advice! fuff fuff is the most recognisable name in my subscription list and Frankie the crow the cutest bird in Canada! Yes needs to be meaningful to me and I can change back! I have been known to change my mind from time to time 🤣🤣 🤣🥰 xx love Trace
Good morning, Trace! I did not know that there is a handle that can be changed. I like your idea, go for it girl!! Like Krista said, if it doesn’t work out you can always change it back.
Good Morning, Trace. I like the story of how you got your channel name. And I like the idea for your (potential) new handle. It will give people a bit more insight into what the channel is about. And although I haven't done it myself, I believe you can always change it again, if it doesn't work for you. 🙂
@@NE_Victoria_Australia cheers mate, I remember a neighbour saying once “a name should say who you are and what you are about”! I shall sit with it for the day 🤔 🙏🏻 love Trace xx
@@SixtyisthenewSixty thanks mate, it sure is more reflective of my mindset! On would think I had gotten the message by now “wake up to myself!” 🤣🤣🤣 xx love Trace
Gidday Trace, Adding more context to your channel be changing your handle name at this early stage is a good idea, However on the other side of that. Having read your commenters I can see how this would be helpful. I personally have kept my channel name and handle name the same as through commenting on others channel and participating in live streams before the handle thing was introduced by youtube my name was known and my comments were easily in ones mind connected directly to my channel at a glance. One thing we found when all this first started was a confusion about who one was with the channel name and handle being different. Time has now passed and people are getting used to seeing people with different channel and handle names, it just made us remember two names so we could link it back in our minds eye. When people comment on my channel and I dont recognize the handle name as it si not the same as their channel name I do take the time to click on them and once I see the channel name I know who they are, lots are long time supporters of my channels. I soon got used to the two names for people. I had not thought of the idea of using the handle as adding more context and description to a channels name. At the start for established channels keeping the both names the same was about avoiding confusion on behalf of our subscriber base as youtube rolled this feature out. Now people can easily connect both names as one and the same, just an extension of your channel name
@@Pocket-Watch ahh this is interesting and something to consider. To be honest I am happy to stay with what I have as I am used to it now and there is no reason to change other than to make the name less “confrontational”. I know it puts some people off as I wonder if they think I am telling them to “wake up “! And in some ways I I can see that simply because it is implying it. Hmmm, lots to think about. I will sit with it for a bit. Much appreciate the context you have given from your TH-cam experience. 🥰🙏🏻 xx love Trace

Yes 👍 change whatever you want and make your channel be a reflection of yourself 😊
@@livingmybestlife9697 thanks mate, I am Trace, Aussie girl Down Under. Thanks for your support, means the world to me 🙏🏻🥰 xx love Trace
I think you do what works for you and what makes the most sense. You can always go back and change it again if it doesn't work out mate ♥ ♥

We are all learning as we go. It is good to change as you grow.😊

I agree a whole new world ❤. I think it's fine to change it and then have a playlist of Wakeup to yourself ❤ 🫂

Hi Trace! I’m a new subscriber! You’ve been so friendly!
I’d absolutely change it now if you want to! I changed mine early on.
