40 yo you embracing the name again because you realized that agonizing over what random people think about a perfectly fine username isn’t worth your time.
(I could’ve made a picture here but I’m also not agonizing over what random people think about my laziness.)
That name was legitimately chosen in my mid-teens for a short-lived troll account. I wanted something that sounded controversial without actually making a statement.
Then I realized that my old username sucked and just stuck with it.
After I stopped caring about having a unified online persona, I just picked random names everywhere. Sometimes I’ll just drop a name that doesn’t fit anymore.
Feels so freeing. Like this is my at work account. When I hand in my work laptop, it’s gone.

I set the Xbox username “Myname420”, myname was of course my name. I didn’t know what 420 meant at the time, I just thought it looked good. Later I wanted to change it, but it was paid and I didn’t care that much, it only showed up in Minecraft when I logged in (because that was the only game tied to that username I played).
Having worked for online customer support it was always fun to get the people who were embarrassed to read you their email address to look up their account.
Neopets I was ShelbysTheBomb and SqueeksDaFlyer. In 2019, I joined again as ShelbyEileenCosplay. The website really hasn’t changed and it’s nostalgic and so good for my mental health
