Crowdsourcing a YT channel name

Hi all,

I have a YT channel and I’m in the process of rebranding it. It originally had a variety of content: real flying videos, videos of real flights I’ve done in the Caribbean, videos from trips to the Caribbean. But I’ve gotten really into creating and posting videos of sim flights around the Caribbean. I’m trying to come up with a good name for the channel and I have a few decent ideas, but I’m wondering if you guys can come up with something better.

So the channel is about flight simming in the Caribbean (mostly GA, but also the BB Islander, some CRJ videos). Ideas I’ve had:

CaribbeanSim
IslandAviator
IslandSim

Etc.

But nothing has really struck me yet. Any suggestions? I’ve been mulling it over a few days. If you have any ideas please leave a reply!

Thanks :slightly_smiling_face:

Nada? Oh well, it was worth a shot.

Come up with a name YOU like, add original and quality content and then promote it.

In this situation @Brunlea is right. Your channel should most definitely be about you and what you like, the name could reflect that. Some people don’t like their given names by their parents. Ask yourself if you’d really like to be called something you may not really like because some random on the internet told you to choose it?

Creativity is your expression to the world, not the other way around. Name it what you wish and make CONTENT drive support and patronage.

Best wishes.

ps: any of your 3 options are great, pick one and move on.

You guys are really over-analyzing this. I’m just asking for suggestions. Never mind.

@moderators please close this, I wish I hadn’t asked.

I like IslandAviator

If you are going to mix in real-world with simming… I like it. The other two imply sim only.

Having said that, I have been putting up youtube vids (live streams, mostly) of VR VATSIM flights in MSFS (and the other sim). The title of my channel implies VR simulation content, but I do put up shorts of real world flying from time-to-time…

Dunno. I guess if the majority of your content is going to be simming, then maybe do include sim in the title of the channel. Then sprinkle in real world content?

So I guess I just changed my own mind - How about IslandSimAviation ?

Side note and a bit off topic - once I get the time, I have a trip planned to the Bahamas in the Arrow. AOPA has some great tips on flying there… Just need to find a couple of weeks one of these years to actually do it :rofl:

I’ve got the same itch! Doing it in the sim is a blast!

:rofl: Doing it in real life is going to be even more epic! Initially, I was going to wait until we are in a twin… but that day may be far away or never come. West Palm to Freeport is less than most XCs I fly. Plan would be to go there as airport of entry. Then jump to Abaco and then down to Eleuthera. Maybe more :rofl: But it’s all on paper right now.

I was waiting until I got my IR. Finished it last November. Just got a Garmin GFC500 autopilot installed in our Cherokee 180. Now I just need to save up some cash! Where are you based out of? I’m at KRME. So it’s a long trip for me.

Congrats on the IR! That GFC500 is a good piece of gear. I have a TruTrak in mine that works great, but I do wish I had the Garmin AP. KRME is a long way. Def want to plan a day or two to get down to FL then rest up. I used to fly up to N30 Cherry Ridge to see my family before they sold the place there… just north-east of KAVP Scranton. Never made it up to Rome, though. I’m out of KHEF Manassas in the Washington, DC area. For me, it would be a day down to FL, spend a night at West Palm then launch in the AM after picking up a rental life raft.
