What are the elements you incorporate into your online username or handle?

Answer by  mangosteen (272)

I usually choose something obscure (so it is not taken), but also something that has some kind of meaning to me. If you are posting content on a site, you may want to avoid choosing a name that will identify exactly who you are.

if its a site that you have to login to frequently, you might think of making your username something that you can type with your left hand. that way, your right hand can stay on the mouse. if you make your password left-hand only, its even better!

When I can't be anonymous, or when I want people who I know to know who I am, I always use my dog's name.
