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.

    I’ve grown very attached to my username and see it as part of myself. I like to be recognized by my name, and try to keep it unique. Partly because it’s a part of me that I don’t get to express often in daily life.
    However, I do keep my personas strictly separated from each other. I have one for professional use to ask questions that can be too easily identified with who I am offline, several for throwaway names and this one for social interactions. I don’t care too much about the others, but do like to see myself as Thelsim as much as my other self.
