Inappropriate?Short answer: You can't, well, not in a way I know of, anyway. I signed up ages ago as 'innocentsparkle', but I haven't been able to change it at all, even though I hate my username.
I’m sad

Thers only 1 way to get round it, create a new account with a good name and risk the videos -
i have no idea. but my user name is sxkxfreestyle85 and so far i have 31000 video views and 121 subscribers, so im happy=)

I am Sad too,
My name MIxzon
Ugh. -
Why not download all your videos and playlists and just upload them to a new account?
-
I had a silly name and wanted to change it also. Oh well I'll have to make a new account. It seems there is a length restriction as I couldn't fit my website http://www.thriller-michael-jackson.com as an account name.

Inappropriate?Yeah, Youtube gives a somewhat cop-out answer to this question:
"Currently, you cannot change your username— there is simply too much information tied to each account. You may, however, sign up for a new account with the username that you desire."
Of course, this notion is a little suspicious... unless their databases are organized in a very un-futureproof manner. My guess is that they just don't want loads of people changing them all the time, and/or want to keep the permalinks more perma, so they continue to show up in web search results. Those are both decent reasons, but still... I feel your pain.
I’m yinzered

There are additional complications now that YouTube accounts can be linked to Google accounts.

burim2008, did you read the answers that Orin and Rammi gave?

You CAN NOT change your user name. YouTube will not allow you. If you want to have a new name, you must create a new account. This is the ONLY way to "change" your name.

Inappropriate?I hate my name, it kinda sucks that you can't change it. If it messes up the database to much, think how many accounts are made/deleted in about 1 month? I mean really! It would be WAY easier if they let you change your name.
I’m Sad, they should let you change the username..*Sighs*
-
Inappropriate?I would like to know if i can at least make a new account in youtube with the same email. Is it possible? Cuz i really don't want to have to create a new Email also.
I’m frustrated, my username is horrible...
-
Inappropriate?i want i new one to so i deleted my account and tried to make a new one. It did not work, now i wish i just keep my account. A really really retarted name is way better than nothing!
I’m sad I can't believe that I was so stupid!
-
Inappropriate?obviously we cant guys...
soo dont even bother thinkin about it...
just keep ur account the way it is... or else bb videos, subscriptions and rates... at least thats what im planning to do...! =]
I’m always happy!!!!!!!.....
-
Inappropriate?Well it seems u can't change the account but rather create a whole new one...when doing this be sure to eliminate the first one...it offers you to remove ur vids too so done panic...but its stupid u cant change ur name -
-

Inappropriate?Brandy, the best way to change the age that I know of is to go to edit account and write your age in the "About Me" in your channel.
Hope I helped!:D
