What was your first online handle?
Heh. I am "Teppy" on FetLife, but my real name on Facebook. And, of course, despite being Steph L. here, everyone calls me "Teppy" here.
So a large handful of FetLife people are also on my FB friends list, and they are constantly shocked when they see someone who they don't know (i.e., a Buffista) address me as "Teppy."
I HAVE CROSSED THE STREAMS WITHOUT AN EXPLANATION.

Because that is how a true badass rolls, muthfuckahs.
Hmm, I started out on AOL as dinky40 and still use it in my e-mail address, but otherwise I've always been a variant of my current username. Every now and then I think about changing it to my RL name, but I really like my username. I waffle, because waffles are yummy.
I started on usenet with my initials, but I've generally been some variation of Ginger.
ABC News just ran a piece on the turtles trying to get to their egg-laying grounds. JFK, inconveniently for the turtles, put a runway in the way [link] JFK stops plane traffic to pick up the turtles and give them a ride to the beach. ABC ran an exchange between the tower and an unidentified person:
"We've got turtles storming the runway."
"Do we really want to use the word storming about turtles?"
Started out as Cashmere. Cashmere everywhere--until I switched to my derby name on Twitter because I was tired of being referred to as a porn star and rapper. So I am Rose Redrum there.
"We've got turtles storming the runway."
"Do we really want to use the word storming about turtles?"
This sounds like something out of
Sports Night.
I started on Table Talk as Sophia Brooks, and here I remain. Not my real name, but a real name.
When I first went online I used my real first name & last initial. But my first "handle" was the pseud I still use over on LJ/DW. I'm pretty consistent...
My main email and my LJ ID are the name of a character I created for Star Wars fanfic 30 years ago (or more? I don't want to count it up). In other places, it's my real name (as here), or initials and my real last name.
My passwords are all characters from fanfics few people have read, so I think they're safe.
I used my real name on Prodigy (informally - my username was aqjn24a or something like that), and then picked up Persephonemoon for a pagan listserv way back when and also on TT. I went back to my real name on WX. Most places that aren't here I go by Alterjess.
