    I got pretty lucky that 1) my usernames have all been pretty tame if a bit boring and 2) I never published anything horrible under my IRL name

      When I was in college I got an early invite to Gmail, and did the fistname.lastname address.

      All my day jobs have also had the same format, as does my university faculty ID (I teach night classes).

      It’s kinda handy that you just use my (unique) name and the organization to get in touch with me.

      Though it’s super annoying on my phone’s autocomplete since the screen above the keyboard shows “firstname.lastname@…” 3 times and I don’t know which is which.

        I do find that interesting all your jobs use the same name format. My jobs have all had different formats lol

        One was first initial last name, one was last name first initial (same as my school), my current one is just first name which is cool because if there are any other people who come here later I will be the original one lol, etc
