Should I drop Durffen?

When it comes to the username "Durffen" there is only one thing that comes to mind. "?"

Durffen is just a word I made up a few years ago. It has never had a meaning. I have never given it one either. Actually, I recall someone on the IGN boards replying to one of my posts in German. I told them I didn't speak german, and they said Durffen was a german word for something. So I guess it's not a word I made up.

Basically, no one knows what it means. When I sign up for sites, it is never taken, so it's nice having a "universal" username. But I have been questioning whether I should keep it or not.

For the past few days, I've been trying to just go by Matt on The Gamers Cafe. I decided maybe it would be just a little more professional to go by your first name instead of your online username for writing. But still, even though I have been trying to go by Matt, I'm still known as Durffen.

I have a registered account for almost every site. And almost all of those sites, my username is Durffen.

I have no idea what to do right now. I wish to go by my first name more often, but most sites that would require some numbers or something afterwards because it is likely taken.

On the other hand, I have so many accounts under the name Durffen, that it would be sort of weird having two personas almost everywhere, and if I wanted to go by Matt, everything with the name Durffen would either have to die or I would have to switch names.

It's actually quite surprising how something simple like this could put me in such a weird predicament.
