Google+ & YouTube linking - need help on URLs

Hey guys, I'm just hoping someone might be able to help me out with understanding Google+ URL names. In the address below 'Example = Our exact domain name).

I started a Google+ account and was given the url plus.google.com/+ExampleAu and have a few posts and followers on there.

It's good but not ideal because of the Au at the end. I only own the .com.au of our domain name, would that be why they added Au? The /+Example (without Au) is not being used.

I also have an old youtube account which I want to start using again and connect it to our Google+. This youtube account has our exact brand name of [youtube.com...]

I'm not able to add it to my already made Google+ account because the youtube account is under a different Google email address. So the only way of linking them would be to start another Google+ account.

My question is, if I do this, because my youtube account has our preferred URL would Google+ then match this and give us our URL of plus.google.com/+Example?

Or is the Au with our first account simply because we have an Australian domain name and Au will always come up regardless?

I am not sure. Google made a real mess with Google+ and Youtube etc. accounts.

Have you got anything to lose if you just create another Google+ account? If it is the way you want it, you can start using it. If not, maybe abandon it?

Perhaps if you post your question to Google Plus [webmasterworld.com] forum, you will get a better response?
