Jon,

I had not even considered asking Al. I really must consider moving into the current century. That is a long list and I shall wade through at leisure. Many thanks.

Jon,

I note that the vast majority of the AI suggested names use my own name in one form or another. I am unsure whether that is a good or bad thing. My initial thoughts were to find a name that did not include mine. To include all or parts of my name seems to be a bit pushy and arrogant. "Look at me, I'm Name1 Name2" that is not really my style. On the other hand, not using a real name seems like one is hiding behind a wall and maybe not to be trusted.

In 1971 I moved from Australia, where I grew up and had interesting engineering/science based jobs, to England where I was unable to find what I regarded as a suitable job. So out of frustration in 1973 I followed my passion and started a business making racing motorcycles and I faced the naming dilemma then also, but perhaps of more significance than a mere Youtube name. Back then I opted for using my own name thinking that not hiding behind a made up name would create more trust in potential clients. As time went on and I developed a small reputation my work moved away from fabrication to consulting. I then changed my business name to MotoChassis because it was descriptive and seemed more professional and better suited to a consulting business. Although I did use my name as a sub-title to provide continuity.
