Yes, YouTube allows you to change your YouTube channel name, and it couldn’t get any easier. When you create a channel on YouTube, there are 2 options: to use your Google Account or make one from scratch. When using the account that pre-exists, the profile picture and name are different from any other accounts that exist for this person’s identity online. This will serve as your public identity on YouTube and all publicly attributable actions will display your channel name and profile picture, like in comments and on your channel page.
All of your YouTube channel name activities are stored in the Google Account and will be used according to their privacy policy. Your Google Account is your primary account; your YouTube name is more of a public persona.
What has to be kept in mind before changing your existing name to a new name is that: Changing your name will remove your verification badge. You can get to know more about that over here.
