What was your first #handle / #screenname / #gamertag / etc?

When I started calling #dialup #BBS systems around age 11, I used the handle "POTPURI". A shortened form of "potpourri." The reason for the shortened spelling is that I first used it when playing Summer Games on the #C64 with our family. I wanted to come up with a funny name and thought of the line from the #WeirdAl song "I Lost on Jeopardy" that said, "I took potpourri for one hundred and then my head started to spin..." but the whole word wouldn't fit into the character limit. This was incredibly funny to 10/11 year old Matt.

This is my second attempt at this poll. I hope it works this time.

What should my screen name be?

Note: if you pick the first option, then we will just have to change the emojis!! #poll #screenname

Er, as with all polls, please share... Although I think it being devoid of context makes it funnier for others.

There exist things in a #profile, #handle or #screenname that almost certainly cause me to instantly #block the handle, or occasionally, the entire #instance. Even so, I don't necessarily want to #automate this because that wouldn't account for #context, #humor, #irony, etc.

Anyone else have a similar #predicament?

(Semi)professional creators out there!! How did y'all choose the name you're putting your stuff out there?
Was it spontaneous and just kinda stuck or suits you have a decision process before? Do you publish art under a pseudonym or do you use your real name?
I'm thinking of pucking up freelance work 4real but I have to register myself at the tax authorities and well, I have to give them a name 😅
