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

Who says 40 yo you can't come up with an embarrassing username?
Not in your case though Jesus_666

Tbh chicken of the woods is a delicious fungus.
I always think of Hearthstone's rogue, every time I see this phrase.
Happy feast of Winter Veil!
Lemmy titles can be edited!
"XxXNeoTheOne69"
You gotta have the "XxX" at the end too for the symmetry!

Or you can use your real name as your username, like me!
You shouldn't have done that. I know what you look like now: https://celebmafia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/margot-robbie-photoshoot-for-usa-today-2018-more-photos-13.jpg
Now people will recognize me when I'm out in public, oh no!
FirstLastBirthyear and pw was ssn because I was trying to memorize it. Idiot.
My 19 year old stepson set his gmail address when he was 13. It contains the phrase "anal beads" and the number 420. He hates it when I bring it up.
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.

Hello [email protected],
Thank you for being a customer today.
β¦I see a flight reservation with hotel stay and shuttle transportation from the airport for you and your wife, Incontinentia Buttocks.
How may I assist you, today?
My entire professional persona is tied to the username I thought was super cool when I was 12. I'm so glad it's not offensive and only a little lame.
Na, username worked out like a charm.
tell me about it

Me choosing my real name back then
Me having to deal with all the other "me"s who are jealous they have numbers after their real name
Me ending up trans and resenting my dead name:
I remember cringing some time after I made my username. Later figured out, that it's actually OK, and I use it everywhere.
I'm glad I have my outlook account because my other emails are pretty unprofessional.
