Trying to come up with the perfect gaming channel name for your Twitch stream?

Well, you’re in luck.

Why?

Because in this post, I’m going to share 14 gaming channel name ideas you can use as inspiration to come up with your own unique, never-before-seen channel name.

You ready?

Awesome, let’s jump in:

Gaming Channel Name Idea #1: The Instructional Gamer

If you’ve decided your Twitch channel is going to be tailored towards giving your audience instructions on how to, for example:

  • Complete any game in under three weeks (random, I know)
  • Find the best loot on the map
  • Win 100 games in a row

then create a channel name focused around being, well, instructional!

So you, my fellow Gaming Zombies, are known as the go-to gamer for those types of streams.

Gaming Channel Name Idea #2: The Walkthrough Gamer

If you decided your gaming channel is going to be focused around providing game walkthroughs, then it would make sense that the main focus of your Twitch name should also surround that idea.

Creating a gaming channel name like this means there’s no doubt in anyone’s mind what type of content you’re going to provide.

That way, your audience knows exactly what to expect when tuning in.

For example, you could call yourself The Walkthrough Gamer or The Detail-Oriented Gamer

Best Name for Gaming Channel Idea #3: The Elitist Gamer

You know the guys who are obsessed with playing games on ‘Nightmare’ difficulty or are always trying to get that world record for speed running?

Well, they’re called elitists.

And if you ever watched them play, well, let’s just say it can be very entertaining.

So, why not base your channel name around being an elitist?

As long as you know how to have fun with it, it could be a great way to get more people interested in your style of gameplay.

Plus, who doesn’t love a little friendly competition?

Some examples include: The Hardcore Gamer or the Best of the Best Gamer.

Best Name for Gaming Channel Idea #4: The Quirky Gamer

If you’re the type of gamer who’s always trying to make people laugh while playing, then why not make your channel name reflect that?

I mean, names like:

  • The Comedian Gamer or
  • The Sarcastic Gamer

can go a long way in showing your audience what to expect when they tune in.

Remember, the more clear you are with your audience, the better.

Best Name for Gaming Channel Idea #5: The Hardcore Gamer

If you’re the type of person who never backs down from a challenge, no matter how much time it takes to complete a certain game, then why not own it?

That’s what being a hardcore gamer is all about.

Take a risk and base your gaming channel around that!

Best Name for Gaming Channel Idea #6: The Protector Gamer

You know the type of gamer who always steps up to keep their teammates safe?

Yeah?

Well, are you one of ’em?

If so, why not base your gaming channel around you being the PROTECTOR?

After all, what’s more important than your squad knowing they can depend on you when they need help?

Name for Gaming Channel Idea #7: The Newbie Gamer

If you’re a beginner when it comes to gaming, why not own it?

I mean, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that.

So, if you want your audience to know that when they tune in they’re going to get the full ‘new gamer experience,’ then creating a name like:

  • The Newbie Gamer or
  • The Amateur Gamer

is definitely the way to go.

(I highly doubt, by the way, that they’re available, but hopefully you get my point.)

Name for Gaming Channel Idea #8: The Lucky Gamer

You know the type of gamer who always seems to get all the items they need?

Are you one of them?

Ah, I hate you.

Only joking.

If you’re one of those lucky gamers, then my advice to you is to based your entire gaming channel – all your snippets, all your streams, all your content – around being, well, lucky.

That way, it will be clear to your audience what they can expect when tuning in.

Name for Gaming Channel Idea #9: The Player vs. Player Gamer

This one is for gamers who are obsessed with playing Player vs. Player matches or just love creating new strategies that revolve around PVP gameplay.

And what better way to show your audience what they can expect when tuning in than to base it around yourself being a PVP gamer?

So, take some inspiration from names like:

  • The Strategist Gamer or
  • The Mastermind Gamer

Again, definitely not available.

But hopefully they give you some inspiration to come up with something on your own.

Name for Gaming Channel Idea #10: The Techie Gamer

If you’re the type of gamer who’s obsessed with creating gaming setups that are unique or tweaking your gaming specs to make them run faster, then why not base your gaming channel around it?

It will definitely help you stand out.

Some examples include:

  • The Experimenter Gamer or
  • The Innovator Gamer
