How secure is your user name?

[sunnyd]

Lots of pages about SunnyD the drink, one blog (not mine) and a facebook account (not mine). Yeah, I think I''m safe.

 

[April20]

Apparently it''s pretty safe! My user name is a date, so the first four pages of hits are all related to events that happened on April 20th!

 

[lyra]

Yeah, mine is the name of a constellation and I could not find the real me anywhere. Plus I choose different names for different sites.

 

[Brown.Eyed.Girl]

This one: pretty darn safe. Helps naming myself after a very popular song

 

[stepcutgirl]

Well i only use this name here, but when I google it most of my posts come up so I know I''m probably the only one with that name. I figured this out a while back and at first was a little concerned but then realized, its all here on this public forum anyhow and I wouldn''t say anything on here (at least I don''t think) that will jeopardize me in the real world.

 

[Karl_K]

shockingly there are at least 3 other people using strmrdr for a nickname out there.

 

[Kaleigh]

Nothing for me. BUT man Kaleigh is one popular name. Had no clue. And here I thought I was original., LMAO!!!!

 

[Dreamer_D]

What is the worry... that our PS name would somehow link to other sites or our personal information? Just trying to be clear.

This is the only forum I belong to, so no way to tracker down I guess.

 

[pinkstars]

I went through 30 pages of google and nothing came up about me, a lot of tattoos and hello kitty did though.

I searched a different user name that I started using when I was younger, and man it pops up right away....that was weird.

 

[yssie]

Apparently there are either lots of yssies or I have multiple personalities I don''t know about, some of which do some very -strange- things!
