I was looking at the different teaching message boards and complimating signing up, but I don't know what to use as a username. I've always used freecharlie and/or charlie, but I'm not sure I someone linking my account at one of those boards with my 2peas self.
So do you use the same username? Do you have different ones for different things, but still keep some the same? How did you come up with a 2nd username? I'm not creative and am at a loss.

I use similar names - but the ones I am on are all SB related, so if someone from one is on another, it doesn't bother me.

I use the same username almost everywhere. There's only a couple places where it's different. It's just the easiest for me. I've been Perumbula for nearly 15 years now, I don't think I could change if I wanted to.  |

I do for a lot of recreational boards/sites, but for professional ones, I use something different - usually a shortened version of my name (which is actually the first part of my email address too).
I'm like you - it's impossible to come up with user names. And passwords? Forget it! LOL!

I have different user names for different boards. I try to associate what the board is about and then make an adaptation to my 'official' user name. Clear as mud, right?

I use similar ones but not the same. I should probably change it to the same so it would be easier for me to remember.

I signed up with this username over at cocoadaisy.com. That way when I participate in the stashbusters challenge the ladies over there know who I am. I use 3LittleLadies at two different scrapbooking sites. Again, because of a connection between the two sites. The other two sites I frequent I have two different usernames. Total of 4 different usernames. |

My user name is often taken at other sites so I sometimes use a variation and sometimes use something completely different. I save all of the usernames on my computer so I never have to remember the names for each site.

No. It is way too easy to Google a single username and see a person's entire online life. I especially don't use the same username for my Facebook profile link as anything I do online.

Not really. There a couple where I've used the same user name, but typically, I use a fresh one.

I used too. But it was my not so common nickname that I use professionally. Weirdest thing is there is another user here with that name. Sort of freaks me out and all my scrapper friends would assume it was me. What if she's ***gasp*** a republican? |

No. My name is so common that I don't use it.

Well, when I started visiting scrapbook related message boards, I wasn't all that original and generally used my name. Every once in a while, some other Melissa would beat me to it and I'd add an initial or two.
I do have another username I use a few places. I am not the only person that uses that username though.

I started out with AngieinCO on CKMB. A short time later I signed up here and for some reason didn't want to put Colorado in the name. I might have been realizing that I might need to move (this was after my DH died) and better not use a place name! I thought about my eBay name being AngieandPlum since she was still alive when I open that account but was afraid it would kill me when she died. Since she was 15 and had heart problems, I knew it wouldn't be long. Later, I was sorry I did NOT use her name. I used Snoopy since I got him 6 months after she died AND he is my second pet named Snoopy. The first was a guinea pig when I was 14. In other words, I knew I WOULD like having a pet's name in my screen name.
Since I know some of the same people from 2 peas, here, and two other scrapping boards, I've used the same name.

I use Emjaytee (my initials spelled out) on most other boards. This is the only board that I use this stupid name. I was going to change it when I moved here but in the end decided to stick with AussieMeg.

I have some variation of this username in other places. I just have to remember which ones are longer, which ones are shorter. Staying logged in helps.

I just recognized an unusual user name as the friend of a Facebook friend. Weird coincidence. Very different personality on FB. I find it amusing when that happens!
