How important is a user name?

[rawnee]

I have used various user names on different forums though I generally stick to one.  However, the one I wanted here wasn't available and I couldn't think of anything else, so I just used my name.

Is your user name one you've used all over the internet or do you have different ones depending on the forum/site you're using?

I have it grouped. So all my LJ stuff is FrankThePirate and so on, all my general stuff is Saph. SaphirePhoenix was my first login for a lot of things so it sticks with me, though the LJ had to be closed.
