Question

How can I change the name in 2017, because it apparently says Edit on Google, not Google+?

Community Answer

Go to change your profile picture on your google account. Once you are on Google+ then exit out of the profile picture. Press the edit button next to your current youtube name, then you can change your name.

Yes, it will change your display name on ALL Google products, including Gmail. If you would not like your profile name to be changed, create a brand channel where you can use a custom name.

How do I change my name on YouTube if it's saying I changed it too recently?

There are limits to how often you can change your name. You can change your name three times every 90 days. If you recently changed your name three times, you may need to wait up to three months to change it again.
