Fancy Navigator,
that wouldn't mean a thing to me i'm afraid, The only way I would know if you were a student would be for you to tell me that you are.

The business of using a name also as opposed to using the aircraft registration can lull myself into believing that the aircraft is in some way a professional flight not a training flight or an ordinary PPL out having fun.
My personal opinion is that if you are a PPL not a commercial flight you should stick to the Aircrafts registration as your callsign, in the event of an incident occuring if we have no registration it may be far more difficult to identify you or set up a search. Amongst my colleagues it is seen as rather pretentious to call yourself anything other than you aircrafts registration.
