YouTube insisted I login in order to watch some movie trailer, so I did so with my gmail account. It then insisted that I give a nickname. I didn't care at the time, as I figured I could just change the name later - surely the only unique ID here is my gmail account. And that's why my YouTube name is skadfjlsakdfjlksdfjl.

Ha!

I'm upvoting you because I did almost exactly the same thing in that situation... my YouTube name is lalalalalalalala2334.
