When we first got an Internet connection, the guy from the PC store came home to help us get started, and, since I am the PC freak of the family, he would offer his advice to me.
So, he said that the first thing an Internet user must do is get an email account. He took me to in.gr, which was free and in Greek. Then to the "Register" screen, and said "Now you need a name to register with... what's your last name?" I said, "Botsakou". "Ok, then you can use abotsakou." I had no reason to disagree, so my first email account was abotsakou@in.gr and my password was an idea he gave me.
Since then, in most of the sites I register I use abotsakou and that same password.
L&C-wise, now, when I was first registered at Zoom's, I used "Anna_B.". Then, after deciding it was a tad unfortunate to be the second Anna B., I named myself Anna B. the Greek (and signed as AnnaBtG.). I actually like the letter G, it's one of my favourites and it doesn't even exist in the Greek alphabet!
I also have the nickname "Anouk" I use in some chatrooms, on some other board and in RL. This was given to me by my (then) best friend. She had just watched the movie "Chocolat" and thought that Anouk (the name of a little girl in the movie) sounded a lot like Anna. Many good friends of mine call me that, since then
Bored yet?
See ya,
AnnaBtG.
P.S.: Cherry, I love your name!! I would have liked to have a more unusual name. Anna is quite common. But it means "grace", so it suits me and I won't complain
See ya.
