No, I don't.

I thought about doing so, but then it all went wrong so I use a pool of a few.

Depending on what site I am on, depends which area of the pool I dip in to.

For question 2, I am asking about more unique names. For instance, Mr Spoon and Mr-Spoon are pretty much the same name, so would count as 1.

I have two, actually a third one, too, but that one is highly inactive.

Same here about using the names based on the kind of site. :)

I used to have a fourth, but I retired it and you will only see very very old posts of mine carrying that name tag. :)

I used to, but it got ugly once when some people on one site tried to drag me into an argument on another, where I had the same username and they knew it was me.

From then on I have tried to use different ones in some places, and for others, if it comes up, I'll just play dumb and pretend the username being the same is just a coincidence :laugh:

Generally I use one, but I have an older one which I use at times.

Got multiple passwords and that can be a pain in the ass on its own, which makes it even worse if you have multiple account names to cycle through as well.

Yes, I do. And it's just my first name. And just typing it into Google almost instantly gives my Facebook (fb.me/ambroos) and Google Plus profile. I don't really mind.

I generally use the same Username/Nickname everywhere unless for some reason I cannot, also sometimes depending on the usage of the username will use another (GalenHawke)

I'm always SHoTTa35 - I changed it for a while but then figured i'd keep that persona as my online me :shifty: - Wouldn't be hard to figure out though as both have crossed before and linked so it's not likesomeone couldn't figure out my real name as a result.

Oh well, lol.

If everyone used their real name First & last. Most forums would not need as many moderators. :woot:

Blizzard tried that with REALid however, it did not go over very well.
