I ended up writing a long reply to mercer, so let's incorporate that by reference.
Yes, Mirimir is rather unique. There's that South American woman, and a travel agency in Iran. But still, yes. I picked it because "мир и мир". And name recognition is intentional.
Indeed, Mirimir is a big part of my online presence. I've worked hard on that persona, for some years. And it occasionally gets me into interesting stuff, even some consulting work.
My meatspace identity is distinguished from Mirimir in three important ways. First, I rarely use English. Second, I don't work on OPSEC, or display any interest in anything related to that. Third, I don't have much of a public online presence. All of my professional work is private, as required by clients. And my social life stays just about totally in meatspace.
