I like my identity, but somehow I wanted to erase my online presence. I like to write, draw and also want to create a youtube channel, but i don't want to associate with it in the physical world.

So, I think I can relate to this question.

What I did? 1) I went ahead and deleted all possible accounts I could which appeared in the google search. 2) I am looking for a new online name now. I will then create content and be active on social media (not facebook) through that name. I'd be happy if my friends and colleagues don't know about it.

P.S my first ever comment on HN since 2008. I would just read HN before without login.

Thanks for your reply.

Good luck! I hope your new name and online identity will be a pleasant adventure.
