Yes, you can change your YouTube channel name but not your Google account name. Here's how
YouTube creators are finally getting a highly requested new feature. Creators are now able to easily change their YouTube channel name and profile picture to better reflect their content -- without updating the name and photo associated with their Google account.
The change will help keep your YouTube name and content separate from your Google services, such as Gmail and Google Docs. That way if you need to send an email for school or work, your real name will appear, not your YouTube name.
