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.

Very much so! There’s this other person who uses the same name online and whenever I sign up for a new service there’s a chance he’s been there first and I have to resort to an alternative. In my head we have a friendly feud about this but I’m not sure he’s noticed yet

And just like others mentioned, it’s very much become synonymous with my own identity, friends refer to me with it and at times I identify more with the nick than my actual name
