Same YouTube channel name

I wish to start a channel with a certain name however I noticed a non english speaking channel is using the name, they have 1000 subs but don't seem to be barely uploading. How much of a issue is this, from the beginning or even if I get bigger?[DOUBLEPOST=1365704003,1365703607][/DOUBLEPOST]It's worth noting I own a website with this particular name and own the .net for it.
 
So you are going to do a name similar but not identicle to your website? I would possibly think of changing the name of the website. Because if the website gets big people may be confused when trying to find you on youtube and you may lose out on viewers.

Possibly some copyright issue in that the persons channel was started first? Also it may not look good when other channel/s are using the same name as you?

Unless they copyrighted the channel name, no. And you said he doesn't speak english, it doesn't matter

I missed your comment. Well my site is called Project Gamer, it's a forum that is meant to tied to this new youtube channel kind of so I figure they'll both help each other out?[DOUBLEPOST=1365732623,1365705784][/DOUBLEPOST]Just found a page as part of Youtube where you can submit a complaint or what not on channel names. Now is this purely for trade marked name, something like if a random guy made a YT called CocaCola and the company wanted it?

Is it possible someone could use it to complain they had the name first or something, despite the channel being dead.
 
I think that you should go ahead and do it, because in the long run it won't matter at all. If you keep at it with Youtube and this other guy stays inactive like you said he was, then you will pass him up in no time and it will look like he's the copier :p
 
Still not sure what to do yet. I genuinely thought of the name before I even saw this guys channel and even have a site with the same name so it's difficult one.

Anymore opinions would be great as I want to see what everyones view is :)
