Having an identical social media handle on all the platforms is awesome. That way they are easy to remember both for you and your followers and the...

Social media is a great platform when it comes to business as the brand can speak to their audience and even consumers stick to social media for instant messages.
I create my handles with same username @saasmantra for all the platform because that will be easy for my audience to remember my brand when they see in different platform
Thanks for sharing 👍✨
:)
I also like consistency.
I go with @insanenaman on all social networks (here, fb, insta, twitter, minds, reddit .... List is endless)
And
Also the portfolio- insanenaman.com
Consistency is the key. 🤣🤣
I'm not surprised, as it sounds unique enough, to be available everywhere 🎯
Good job on picking it 👍
Glad you liked it.
I’ve somehow been able to claim @cchana on all of the major social networks. For some accounts I’ve had to suffix a number but very rarely.
I even have cchana.co.uk registered but haven’t been able to claim the .com variant yet.
For my portfolio site I’ve ended up with a domain that spells my first name, Charanjit: charanj.it it never gets old when people realise it!
Lucky you 👍😃 Forming a handle with 6 letters (first letter of first name and the added surname) and you still were lucky to get it available 👍
Props to your idea of combining that way 💯Or you just manage to predict all the major sites in their initial phases and register among the first users? 😃😃
Most likely just luck. I didn’t have access to Instagram in the early days because it didn’t work on my budget Android phone but still managed to get the username I wanted!
Good for you 😉 Glad handles are not validated for must-have uses of uppercase, number and other chars, like it is for passwords on some services 😃😃
Surely it is great for security, tho it becomes a nightmare to remember them all as you most likely didn't use patterns like that for first passwords 😉Password managers to the rescue 😉
I've only gone by 2 IGNs/UNs over the last 20+ years (a possible 3rd only because it's tied to an email address). 'Lateralus138' and 'TheFluxApex' (or 'FluxApex').
I only care a little bit and then only to a point.
I don't change because usually my names are connected to specific things and I think it's confusing if developers are changing their UN all the time.
Trust is a major issue on the internet and since I'm old school I'm always a bit leary of people changing their name or have random non-unique names. When making my names it's something that's unique to myself that have, at least, a little bit of personal meaning to myself. 'Lateralsu138' (or just 'Lat') is an old name that means something to me then as it still does today. 'TheFluxApex' is fairly new (a couple of years), but it means a whole to me in my personal growth...
Awesome insight! Thank you 🙏❤
Mostly my name and year of birth.
Here and my dev twitter account are my name.
My other twitter account and others are the first two letters of my first and last names, plus a sports shirt number I wore back in my youth, plus my year of birth.
I'm moving more towards just being my name.
Hahah yeah, often you have to come up with some creative number combinations to add to your name that are easy to remember 😃😃
this is an odd one for me... I asked my dad to buy Minecraft when it first came out, and he just put the contents of the captcha into the name field. He wasn't sure what to enter, and duh, of course you can change the name.... Well back then you couldn't.
Later I had to register for my servers forum and slowly "sphrases" became my online presence 😅
True example you have to think in long term about everything 😄😄
Usually I go with bellomuboye and variants of it when readability is an issue (bellOmuboye, BellOmuboye, bell-omuboye). My Twitter though is different @definebell because I wanted to create a company called Define back then and i love the whole "Define something". I now use that as the name of my blog "Define With Bell".
I want to change the bellomuboye to the same variant (help needed here).
My names are both unique so all's well on that front.
mine is @codewithghazi everywhere.
twitter, instagram, reddit
Lucky you 😉 Did you go through the phases of editing some, so they are all the same now? 👀
No I got it on the first try only. :)
I'm in camp 1) I don't care all that much. I am not consistently active on every platform out there anyway. I also do not want to limit the amount of math puns I can make with my usernames 🙂
