As you all know my YouTube channel is called CM music. I am planning on changing it to just my initials and this is why. I don’t know about anyone else but my screen reader calls my channel centimeters music. That drives me nuts! Not to mention my profile name on my phone is CM, so it is also read Centimeters. So I have been thinking about this for awhile, and I am thinking it may be a good idea to change my channel to CMP. These are my initials. This is going to accomplish two things. One, I will not be called centimeters anymore, and my profile name on my phone/google will be read right. And two, I will not be misleading anyone because my channel is not all about music anymore. It started out like that, but now it has morphed in to a channel that is not just music, I talk a lot on there as well. So basically I am killing two or maybe even three birds with one stone. I am unsure wen the channel name will be changed for sure, because I need to figure out what to do about my facebook page that corresponds with it. Obviously I need to change the name of the page as well, but will changing the name cause problems with the link I already have up on my channel? Or does the link stay the same? I don’t have a paid link or anything, but I am unsure how to keep things from breaking badly. Can anyone who runs a facebook page shine a light on this? Thanks for any help you guys may have to offer.

First of all, thanks for informing us about the change.
Concerning the fact that your screen reader is mispronouncing your Youtube channel, that actually depends from the synthesizer voice you are using. I’m having the same problem with Elten and with pronouncing the date. Due to the synthesizer voice which I am using, it doesn’t pronouncing the date correctly; but I don’t care much about this. Of course, for a Youtube address that’s different.
Concerning about the things you mentionned about Facebook, I can’t help you there since I am not a Facebook user.
In the Elten English community group, under the forum, “Computers and Technology”, there is a forum thread called, “Youtube channels” where you can promote your Youtube channel.
