Name for a New Channel?
Hey folks, I've been working on a new channel that I want to finally launch soon-ish, which will be much broader in scope. Just kind of embracing the fact that I'm all over the place and tend to get very interested in random things for a short period of time.
So I want the name to somewhat reflect that eclectic, chaotic ADHD vibe. The first idea I had was "Scatterfocus". I like it but also know people like to abbreviate... not particularly excited about the possibility of being called "Scat". :)
I also like "Radically Scatterbrained" (betting on being called "Rad" rather than "Scat", you know?). To get away from that word I might go for "Radically Erratic", which has a neat ring to it.
By the way, I want this to be a fresh start, completely separate from the main channel.
What do you think? Do you like any one of these the most? Do you have other ideas?

I voted for Radically Erratic BUT once I got to the comments I think people have good ideas to consider! My favourite was Skallagrim's Musings (by Franklin B), I'd like the new channel to include your name as it peaks my interest more, but I do understand if you want to separate the new channel entirely. Skallhalla (by big-sweet-roll) was a funny but meaningful suggestion too.

--Chaos Rider / Chaos Strider/ chaos Storm --Jack the Master (Inspired by Jack of all trades....) --Heaven's Net (inspired from Tao Te Ching).chapter 73 --"...The meshes of the net of Heaven are large; far apart, but letting nothing escape...." play with these a bit maybe? To Higher Health and Power
Off the top of my head, Scatterbrain, Brainshotgun, Brainshot, Messyfocus, Brainstrewn, Fragmentation Brain, Anti-Personnel Mind, Mindshards, Unfocused Radical, Grapeshot Brain, Brainderbuss, Mindconstrued, Disbanded Brain, Mind Dispersal, Mind Fog, Splinterbrain. Whatever you decide, I wish you the best of luck and look forward to watching.
As good as Radically Erratic sound, I think some variation around Skatterfocus is the optimal merge of meanings and you/recognition/continuity.
Skatter with a k makes a lot of sense. It both pays homage to the old name, and steers away from scat puns. Skatterfocus and Skatterbrain are both good ones.
Personally, I would not want to have to try to pronounce "Radically Erratic" on a regular basis. That would definitely turn into "Erotic" half the time.
And that's a problem because ... ?
Skallagram. This is the correct answer and anyone who doesn't think so is wrong. (kidding)
lol
I think Skallabrained could work. It kind of echoes both Skallagrim and scatter brained. Possibly ScatterSkall could work as well. I was thinking the second S would be capitalized as well.
Skallafocus?
I think some of the names suggested in the comments here are great. I especially like "Erratica", as suggested by Ranveig.
Skallabrained?
I like that one.
I think something with your name in it (e.g., "Skall at Random") would draw far more viewers. Even if the topics aren't consistent, knowing that at least the same specific person will present everything with a consistent personality and delivery style would be helpful. Viewers who are already familiar with your content would probably be more likely to check the other channel if they're reminded that it's still the guy they've been watching for years.
"ScatterSkal" Combing Scatter brain with Skalligram so you are still shorten to Skal but you also include the scatter part you wanted with out the unfortunate shortening.
That scat energy becoming radscat was not on my list of ADHD enjoyers
De omnibus? A nod towards your foundations is always nice though.
Skallabrain? Skrimagall?
Radscallion, Unskalled/Unskulled, Scatterskulled?
I like Scatterskulled
Just throwing a few things in the mix. I get that you want some distance from your current channel, but I think most of your fans will enjoy at least a slight homage to your old name.
I suggest a pun that works for you. Consider duality, to describe both your focus and scatterbrain aspects, BUT call it 'Duelity' with as worst will be shortened to Duel, which still works for you.
I misread someone elses suggestion as "erratica" and it amused me so i'm suggesting that :D
There was a singer which called himself "Scatman", AFAIK. Simce it's also music-style.
Not a fan of any of these, unfortunately. Skallovertheplace. Funfocused. HocusFocus. All are way too long to be practical channel name.
Hocus Focus is pretty good
As you already see, you're gonna get some pretty biased answers asking the existing Skall crew 🤭 I saw that you do want a clean break from your existing channel, which is cool, but you probably do want to create a new persona of some kind for viewers to latch onto. Whether it be The Curious Nord, or Windswept Questions, or Thoughts From A Rock. Something that's a little more than "lol so random", which is what I'm getting from the current options. ...also can you tell that I like the videos where you filmed outdoors? 😂
Or something like Anti Fractal (Fractal is a pattern that keeps repeating itself when you zoom it), Fractal Drift... Or disperson, dispersion of thoughts, deciduous decidings, decidusional, Feed for Thought, HallowHiveMind, etc...alright that's it from my side now I don't think most of these are very good. Someone might suggest something better.
What about something like Skallduggery Scatterings?
~~Do you want it to be unrelated to your main channel?~~ nvm just noticed that you specifically said you want it separate. In which case "everything everywhere" or "all the things" would work, though are probably already taken.
Yeah, probably already taken.
I am thinking of relating adhd to chaos and a name based on that, like Chaoskall? Entropical/Entropikall? Sarchasm? Or just name it Lavalamp as that represents randomness pretty good
But you already have Skallhalla, formely Skallnanigans.
Yea I feel like random unrelated videos would fit on the existing second channel. I feel like I remember it having the name "Skall Cave" at one point in time too.
“Erratical” “But, what about…” I also like “Skallbrained” as mentioned by Dapper Dunsparce. Or even “Skallerbrained” or “Skallagrim’s Musings” unless you’re intentionally trying to dissociate from your primary channel.
Skallafocus? Skallathoughts? I like Dapper's suggestion of Skallabrained.
Rationally Erratic?
How about “I’m sorry, what?”
Personally not a fan of these options unless you really want it distanced from the main channel. I would think something more on brand but allowing the scatterbrained nature (can relate, AuDHD myself). Maybe something like "Pommel for your Thoughts" or "Skallbrained" for the connection but then keeping the freedom to be whatever you want it to be. Just my thoughts.
Yeah, the first idea that came to my mind was "Skallerbrained"
What's the issue with beeing called "Scat"? Aint it one the best Music-Forms? :D
Heh. There's also good old Scatman John. There are other meanings to the word, but that one association is unfortunate.
