I want to change the name in the URL that's the same name as my channel. My channel name is empire24453 and in the URL it's empire2445 o_O I want to add 3 in the URL so that it's /user/empire24453/

Back in 2013, I used the option to great custom URL changed, and we all know that you only can do it once, Is there another way? since I'm partners I should able to fix the URL with the right name

you might get lucky emailing youtube support.... Might.

I know when you go to set up a custom url it gives you more than one mention of "you can not do this again"

you might be able to get away with also getting the /c/username channel name by linking it to google+..

I have seen this question pop up every week or so on the forums, but I don't think it is ever answered.

Unless there is a very important reason then YouTube will not change it. Your reason unfortunately would not fall under this. You can always email them if you are eligible for partner email support, otherwise there is not a lot you can do.

It seems to be linked already, here: https://plus.google.com/+Empire24453 So I double check if it's linked up, which looks like to be and yes.

From my pint of view it is very important, as for YouTube they won't care and aren't important even though it needs to have "3" added

I also posted on the google forums, and one answer was impossible to do it
