YouTube Username Decision...

Ok guys...

This might be stupid sounding, or some of you might think it is dumb to ask, but I always have the hardest time choosing a username for something, xbox, forums, what ever. I want to make a channel on Youtube for when I start flight training. I am a Type 1 Diabetic, and I want my channel and channel name to differ from the other flight training channels out there, I want to relay the information to other Diabetics that want to fly and make the information a little easier for them to understand, rather than like me, having to find it all yourself. I would like the name to show that my videos are going to be based on that, and I can still post up videos of other things. I have a channel already, but it uses my xbox username, and I'm just not too fond of it anymore, and it has NOTHING to do with flying.

For those who are going to say "use your name from here." Well, I have thought of that, my username here has a purpose for me, N4908 was the first small plane I have ever flown in, and the first plane that I actually got to fly...but is it good to use for my flight training, and to relay the info I want to get across?

Thanks for any input guys!

I for sure know what you're are getting at. I too pull myself with insulin 5 times a day.
Jetranger has some good ones, but it all depends on what you will tell others and what you expect from others!
Insulinwing or/-flyer i surely can understand, but the question is, can other?  ;)

I'll never forget when my mom hit 600 sugar count, I was scared to leave the house and leave her there, and she was up walking around like nothing happened, like everything was fine,, they told us at the doctor, 600 is bout' coma !! that freaked me out totally. Since then when I hear of people being diabetic,, I take them more seriously and always ask what their blood sugar count is and to stay on top of it,, !!! Thankfully , I'm not diabetic, least not yet anyway,,, . Hey since your in Missouri,,Bonanza,, maybe you should call yourself what our states nick name is - Misery / Misery Flyer  ;D

I had to register a YouTube account to prove I was over 18 so I could watch a "mature" video.

I typed a ridiculous name that I never intended to use again (it ends in 69).   :)

I didn't know that YT already knew who I was because it had my Google cookies.  Now I'm known as katzenjammerkid69.

I like it.

Thanks for the feedback guys, some of the names you have given have made me laugh, lol. SugarFeather...that one just sounds like a lady's CB handle.."Heyy, this is SugaFeather, what's your 20?" lol

Ok, I've narrowed it down to these choices. I have been reading up a lot on the Cessna 162 SkyCatcher and I really like it...I am a Bonanza fan, but I love Cessna as well, always have. Here are my two name choices. I am still goin to have it showing my flight training as a diabetic.

CessnaTyler
Cessna162T
FWDTyler (Flying With Diabetes)
Type1Aviation
T1DPilot (T1D=Type 1 Diabetes)

The 162T is not for Turbo...because that does not exist, the T is the initial of my first name, Tyler. CessnaTyler uses my first name, yes, some of you are against using your name on there, but I am going to some way considering I will probably be saying it in a video at one point. So..what do you guys think would be better? Like I said, I like opinion...it's always hard for me to choose a username.

If ever I joined U-Tube, (which I very much doubt!), to broadcast my music which I play on my various musical instruments each day, the first thing I would do is disable all replies to my post, to stop all the disparaging remarks which originate from all the low-life which mostly inhabit U-Tube...(similar to many various Forums)....Beware. It could seriously depress you!

Paul:it only happens with big videos on big channels,,but small vids do tend to get disliked unrightely.
A girl in my class for example:amazing singer but 2 likes and 3 dislikes. :-/
I might look up a video.
