Twitch - UserNames - Add Alias Names/Nicknames to the Profile settings / Channel Settings
Enhancement Request:
User can have the functionality/ability to create and change an Alias Name, separate from the User/Streamer name as long as the user has a Twitch channel.
For example
User Name: JohnConnor
URL: www.twitch.tv/johnconnor
Alias: Jonnor
The Alias Jonnor can be displayed in the profile, in his channel and the Channel Explorer list on the Twitch homepage. And this is optional, the user can display the username as usual, or the Alias name.
This is very similar to social networking platforms, where users have their usernames and nicknames apart.
In addition, to avoid problems in the community, aliases must also be unique and can be changed every 60 days.
This is very useful in order not to lose the main username and only change the Alias from time to time.
For example, on Twitch, my username is Narendiel, and sometimes I want to put Naren as Alias or John Naren, however my username keep it as Narendiel, as channel name.
I think many streamers could appreciate this improvement, attract more users to the community and give a more professional and creative touch to Twitch channels.
Thanks for reading my suggestion, have a nice day!

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.
