I stopped doing this recently because it makes password breaches devastating and online tracking easier. Now the only stable screen name I use is for my professional persona. Everything else I sign up with whatever random screen name is in my head at the time. Some of them I toss in the password manager, effectively making it also a username manager. Others, like HN, I don't store the username or password at all. Once the session dies for whatever reason I just make a new account. It's very freeing!
