Channel Display Name option?
I've seen this requested feature a lot, option to add a display name? (just like with Twitter, there's a display name, and an @username)
Good way to deal with username snipers, generic words & common names such as "Jake" or "Jacob" are already being used of course, but if someone named "Jacob" creates a username such as /Jacob_535455 then it just looks messy for a channel name, so yeah, a display name should be an option too (it's already on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Reddit, Steam, you name it, so it'd be a good idea for here too)
For LIVE notifications, it should still say "@Jacob_535455 just went LIVE" (or something similar) to prevent confusion with someone else named Jacob

How about for me?
I can't have a username of ".NET Bytes" (which is my real name), because of the period in the front. So, I have to resort to "dotnetbytes", which then can only have the casing changed to, "dotNETBytes". I don't like it. I'm okay with the username being "dotnetbytes", but I'd really like to name the channel, ".NET Bytes".

Merhaba,
Kanal isimleri ve üye isimlerini ayırmayı denediniz mi ?
Örneğin ben ismimle bir kanal açmak istiyorum. Szayel ismim olduğunu varsayalım. Twitch.tv/username kullanımında başka bir üye olduğu için açamıyorum. İlk gelen user id'yi kapıyor anlıyorum da; bu arkadaşın veya üye profillerini ayırırsanız bence bu iş güzel olur.Username diye biri üye oldu diyelim. Üye adı twitch.tv/user/username olsun. Eğer bu adam yayın yapmak isterse aynı facebookta veya başka bir sayfadaki gibi kanal açma menüsünde username boş mu değil mi diye baksın. Boş ise kanalı twitch.tv/username olsun
Örneğimizde arkadaş gelmiş username nickiyle üye olmuş. Adam aktif mi değil mi belli değil, yayıncı mı değil mi belli değil. Ee kanal açacağız şimdi kaç yıllık nickimimizi mi değiştireceğiz ? Bu adam bu nickle kanal açmış olsa eyvallah. Adamın ne yayını var ne kanalı. Sizce bu bir eksik değil mi ?
Adama ulaşmak istesek ulaşamıyoruz da. Özel mesaj özelliği yok anlamıyorum nasıl ulaşacağız yani...

Me and most likely a lot of other people would like to have a specific channel name, but we don’t want to have to change our usernames to achieve the channel name.

This is also espeically useful for people who are known by different names in different places. for example, musicians with aliases or people who participate in online fandoms but also have a non-fandom online presence. What might also be an option is an optional "title" that displays next to the display name on your profile and in chat

Separate User name from channel names i don't like go on friend stream with NewsInside channel name, much people create secondary account only for this and is terrible.

I just realized after changing my user name that my twitch channel and my name in twitch chat still ramained the same after changing my user name.
I think if there was an an option setting that allows users to change their display name or set either display name or user name as default would be very useful.
