I like poll discussion topics, so! How many online names have you had? (Primary identities, not alts.)
17 votes
1 - I am confident in my identity.
2 or 3 - I've had a couple netlife crises, but I only change it after careful consideration.
4 to 6 - It took me a while to get settled.
7 to 9 - I'm not too comfortable in my online skin.
10+ - I change my name with the weather. I am not who I was last week!

I've stuck with just my one name one DA for the whole 7 long years I've been here.  It's hard to change a legacy, though I've been encouraged on many occasions to get a new account to get new watchers and dump the ones that are gone/don't actually watch me (why do new accounts get so many watchers? ;_;).  But my handle is a combination of a nickname the friend who got me into art gave me and then the old last name of Mathaeis WAY back when before I decided that he and Kaytus were cousins.

Offsite, I either use KaraRedwing (since "Kara" is what I actually go by) or SirusBlades/SirusBladewing for stuff connected to my Reign of Blood account where Sirus is my vamp 'sona.  (For that one, Sirus is such a sexy name and when I play pokemon games with a Skarmory in them I always name it "Bladewing."  Lovely metal bird thing.)
