It's a tough question.

Personally, I'd go with a pseudonym. Once you go famous, you don't go back.

The notoriety might be fun for a day or two, but it would get old quickly. Plus, I very much enjoy being left alone in public (which is part of why I enjoy being a guy; I don't have to worry about being hit on, just hitting on qt girls).

Honestly, I think a lot of you guys are underestimating how much you'll miss public anonymity.
