I originally went with the same name but have been using this one now since it’s new and the idea of starting fresh appeals to me.

My initial thought was to reuse my existing name so others who already knew me might see that I’m here since we never communicated outside of the given subs we were apart of. I’m not sure how likely that would actually be though. It’s not as if I was anyone popular or well known. So, my thinking is I’ll stick with my new one and move on.

What have you chosen to do? Start fresh or carry your username over?

    See, here’s the thing. I’ve been using the name I use on reddit since LONG before reddit was a thing. So yes, it’s the same name (well, one of two variants I use), but I don’t think of it as my “reddit name.”

      Same here, I’ve been going by this nick (and you can date me by me using that word for it) since I was a wee lad.
