Writer's Block: The name game

I was late joining LJ (relative to most of my friends at least) and when I tried signing up, about the first twenty potential usernames I tried were already taken. Eventually I tried the name on the label of the cuddly toy sitting on my desk...

It's worked well enough as a username; it's not easily linked to my real name and it's memorable, although it does make me sound like a teenager. I like the fact that there are lots of free icons which work well with this username. Sometimes I consider changing it to something more grown-up, but overall I've grown to like it.

My feeling is that a username is a bit like an ordinary name in that while there may in some sense be a better one (I never particularly liked my real name) once you have one it becomes little more than an identifier as far as other people are concerned.

You are quite right, I think.
