On most sites I use my amateur radio callsign (HN is an exception). It's unique and very unlikely to be taken already.

Doesn't the FCC maintain public records of callsigns and associated home addresses? Why would you want to immediately tie your personal address to most of your online accounts?

I may not be under the jurisdiction of the FCC :-)
Some countries publish full records, others just names, others nothing at all.

Would you put in your real name and address on all of those sites?
