Facebook Employees: What are you internal usernames like?

I'm filling out the onboarding form right now, and there's the section where they ask what you want your username to be. Do people usually use their real names like johndoe as their username or is this like reddit and people have more clever usernames like pornomonster22

A “friend” if mine used lyft@. A week in HR told her to change it.

They're bureaucrats, Morty, I don't respect them.

Ok sounds like it's recommended to be serious. However I just want to state for the record that there are some pretty funny names that are already taken, like characters from HBO's Silicon Valley and some memes as well

Now that you have joined, what have you found in terms of clever/fun names? I'm joining soon and am thinking I want something more fun

Funny names can backfire if you aren’t superstar material. I’ve seen some cheeky SNs who were lukewarm performers. Then your SN is just a reminder to people who know your work that you’re a clown
