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.

It's a fine username but I'm not overly attached to it.

I use different usernames for different services and try not to use the same one twice. I do tend to follow a "theme" (though how they all relate is a secret) with them but that's about it.

I think that having a "consistent" online identity across different services isn't very safe but I'm sure that's coloured by my own personal experiences. 🤷‍♀️
