I had to search my nick since it was mentioned. There must be 50 of me out there. Sweet.
There are many benefits to using a common word as your screen name, and to using a different one on each website you frequent. Plausible deniability is nice.
My real name is a bit more unique, though, and in this age when employers routinely Google new applicants it’s a bit disturbing. For example, someone with my first & last name was executed for a double murder in Nebraska in the 90s. There’s a registered sex offender in my city with my first and last name, though the first name is spelled differently, and he’s in his 60s whereas I’m… not.
