Ask HN: How did you choose your online alias?

from the ask-hn dept.

How did you choose the name that you use online? Do you try to use the same one on multiple services around the web? Did you try and register a personal domain name?

For security reasons, I recommend that people not answer this question.

I typed keys at random.

On twitter and disqus, I use my real name.

On others I chose a different random sequence of letters for each.
