Do you have a single username you feel attached to?
Or do you like to use different names for different occasions?
Edit two and a half days later:
Thank you all for answering my question! It was so interesting and fun to read all of your responses.
I really appreciate you for taking the time to write.

Deeply attached. If anything ever happened to it I’d be completely devastated.

I’d rather not have a recognizable persona online
This name is just the fewest a’s i was allowed to register with
The “Take On Me” strategy of choosing a name I see.
By the ankle.

This is a cool idea
It’s my real name.
That’s so cool!

Don’t reuse passwords. Reusing usernames shouldn’t be a huge issue, no?
Nope, unless you are worried about stalkers.
I guess it makes it easier to do social engineering
Exactly. Average person, not a big deal. But if someone for some reason decides to target you, you give them a huge amount of days about you quickly. I tend to make a new name for each service.
Oh, I don’t use this name everywhere. I like to be recognized online, but the Venn diagram of those who know me online and those who know me offline is basically two separate circles.
I have been this user name for seventeen years. I’m ADHD and forget friend on platforms. This makes it easy to find me.
I’m more attached to it then my real name
Agreed, its my online name (and i am online more often than not)
You can take it from my cold, slippery hands.
Ew, you can keep it :)
I inherited my name from the previous Dread Pirate Roberts…
Not anymore, since it’s really valuable to not have fixed identity on the net.
Mine is a work of art
I just use my username to express myself until people who don’t like me ban me and then choose another to continue being myself.

To the spliff or the username? :)
I just use my name.
But why is it cursive? Must have a deeper meaning 🤔
Artistic freedom 🙃
I will call you Sir Dirk from now on :D
