YT name, yay or nay?

You could implement both, in a way. You could call yourself by your name and then have your video segments called "Life After Billy," which would be cool, since it's usually hard to think of a not-horrible name for regular video titles, haha. (For me at least)

I agree. Use your name. I didn't for years (because I didn't really want my parents or younger relatives coming across my videos and seeing what their crazy relative gets up to with a camera when no ones around ) But I will rebrand soon. I think the personal touch is good and people will want to know about you and your story. All the best with your future videos by the way. Very important topics.
The idea to call your segments Life after Billy is also great. Memorable!

Life after Billy has a nice ring to it. It could mean a lot of things if you wanted to do different videos. Channels will evolve over time usually so its good to be flexible as possible.
