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.

Some people call me by my username (“reiver”) when they meet me in person.
To me, it is as much my name as my given-names are.
…
When I consider signing up for a new platform — if my preferred username isn’t available, I often won’t join.
…
Which never used to be a problem — as it is an obscure English word using its archaic spelling —
But, there are a lot more people on the Internet now, than there were two or more decades ago. So sometimes it gets taken by someone else.
That’s so cool, like your name.
Should change the last part to “Reremouseman” though, to stick with the theme :)
