Do you ever wish you'd come up with a better online handle?

I only use this handle on 'GAF. I think because when I was trying to get in I didn't want a user name they might recognise as someone they had refused before. I love my user name that I use everywhere else (Azhrei).
 
Yea, that's why I've got different names on everything. Nothing ever really sticks, I like Mr Fahrenheit, but it gets used a lot so I have to come up with other names. I also realized I didn't like the prospect of people on one site/service being able to search me on another.
 
YES!

I'm horrible at it, it's always just variations of my full name.

its either: [first initial] middle name [last initial]
or its [first initial] [middle initial] last name
etc...
 
Rhomega is perfect, and I use it for everything but here, I just wish I could get rid of the "Beta" off my GAF username, but just "Rhomega" is already taken, probably from an earlier attempt to sign up.
 
I'm satisfied with mine.

I used to name game characters after book characters. So for video gaming, it was natural to pick a character again. The only question remained, which character. I always have a good laugh attempting to get the names of more beloved characters from this series; on one unique service with a small userbase, I even scored the name Bill Door, which is impossible to get on any service with, oh, over 250 users.

Sometimes people strangely read it as weed man, but it's not. I wouldn't choose a handle referencing weed. So that always feels weird. But I'm happy to be called Wee, despite none of its meanings really applying to me.
 
i didn't like my old one i used to use which my mom made up for me to play this online game for harry potter where a winner could end up in one of the movies (chamber of secrets i think?) i didn't win

for this one i wanted something thats concise and people could call me without it sounding weird. pretty happy so far
 
My online handles used to be related to sniping in some way such as HEADSHOT BOOM, which looking back were horribly bad. But I'm kinda happy with what I've got atm.

I was trying to come up with a new handle and just mashed the start of my name with the last three letters of the alphabet because it looked cool and sounded okay. Just annoyed that the name is taken on both XBL and PSN >.>
 
Mine is really dumb but I haven't come up with anything else I'm happy with, and I've used this so much and for so long I couldn't change it in most places anyway.
 
I'm proud of my EVE Online's Herzog Threi. it seemed smart at the time

then I had Fokkerman on Live,
Nick Furry on Steam (it still is, with a picture of Bongo from Banana Splits as avatar
