Since it comes up pretty often, here is the offical story of my youtube channel's name.
I intended for it to be ComfortableShoesStudio just like this website. Seems easy right? Except YouTube only allows 20 characters in a name... I Typed in the full name and didn't look to see that it was right. Bad move. CSS is 22 characters long. YouTube dropped the I and O off the end. After signing up I stayed logged in and loaded my first few videos. Then I loaded a few more.
6 months later I ended up signed out and couldn't log in. I requested my password to be sent to my email on file. It was then that I realized that I was signed up as ComfortableShoesStud. *Headdesk* At this point I'd already loaded up a bunch of videos and had a bunch of views, so I figured, screw it, leave it as is.
Lesson learned though, ANY time I sign up for something I check to make sure that everything is spelled correctly before hitting "Agree" or "Continue!"
WOW! Now I understand the comment made on Paula's Stream the other night!! LOL.

*laughing* Having a first and last name with 20 letters this happens to me all of the time. I never thought anything of it. It is a rarity I ever see the last several letters of my name.

I've got the same problem when I sign up for stuff out in the real world. My parents gave me 4 names: Eveline, then I was named after my mum and my two grandmothers just in case they would not have any more daughters to name after nan.
In Holland, it was no problem to have 4 initials. Over here in the UK, it's just one too many. My bank card does not have the last one because there wasn't enough space, and it just looks odd now.
