You use improper grammar and you're asking for advice for your tech channel's name on another Tech channel's website... you're not going to go far.

Honestly, My name on youtube is "Ya Mum' there are Several "Ya Mum's" I don't think you can do anything much about it.

There is nothing wrong with it but the name is English so I think his channel will be English, too.

Just to inform, your channel name is not at all copyrighted.

To have a copy right on the name, you'll need to apply for a trademark which also costs money (A fair bit probably).

 

However, any content you create on your youtube channel (even with bits of content used in fair usage) is legally yours. Any content you make is automatically protected from copy. Whatever it may be. Video, audio, picture, sculpture, writing. If any is re uploading your content, you are entitled to file a DMCA takedown against them. Note this only applies on REAL-LIFE items. Ideas (Never) and work done as a task (Generally) are not copyrighted to you. In the case of a task, the contract you make with the one who assigned the task, must stipulate the transfer of legal custody of the copyright. Otherwise it's yours. Yet most tasks are handled this way.

Probably the most important aspect of a created name is how easily people can relate to it and how easy it is to remember. "Dawn of Tech" seems quite ok.

 

On the topic of grammar, it is quite easy to judge people without knowing the background. You should have seen how I wrote in the early years of foruming.

 

PS! Not saying my grammar in English is any good now...

Dude I think you should keep your name as your channel name and you can write any thing you want on the banner.

You don't have a copyright on it then either. You have a trademark though.

 

 

I think you can keep that channel name
