#but ive been pirategirljack about as long as ive been insisting on the name i introduce myself as in real life sooooo

I've been pirategirljack on all the things (except this one, and also this one, though that's a side blog and not my main bc I was...idk not thinking right when I set up this account) since 2003.

A post about names/handles got me pondering:

At this point in time, I've had this particular handle for more than half my life. I've gone by this name for more of my life than I have not gone by it.

I wonder how many people on here that's true for?

So here's a poll:

This can be because you transitioned, changed your name for some other reason, had a handle for an online or any other community (SCA, etc) or anything else that meets the criteria of a name that you consider to be your name, which is not your birth name, which you have had for more of your life than you have not had it.
