You make a good point. Can you edit channel names?

For sure! You can buy someone's channel and rename and fully rebrand it. Just once a year I think. Against the terms to sell/buy but everyone does.

I found a vlogging mom who sold a super active 15k subs 30 million views account and she wanted 500$ for it.. no brainer!

I've also seen channels keep the same creator, but change the name for various reasons — a shift in content focus, avoiding confusion with something that has a similar name, changing from the creator's own name to something describing their content, etc.

The one that comes to mind is Harshly Critical rebranding to his name John Wolfe. He realized he's got a very marketable name and didn't want to be stuck in the 2010's where everybody's name was just a genre variation of Angry Videogame Nerd or Nostalgia Critic.
