I found that my particularly malicious ex-gf (restraining order was eventually required) was using my online realname-based content to "haunt" me somewhat. I am also from the 90s internet where nicknames were more the norm, but I actually felt somehow "mature" (for lack of a better word, and no offense intended to anyone) when I decided to switch to my real name back in ~04 or so. Since then though, social networks have become ubiquitous to the point where some services only allow you to login with social network credentials.. It's all gone mad; pre-interviewing and therefore pre-judgement based on your Google hits, human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria.

I say head back to the 90s and obfuscate/omit your ID where possible.
