I've been using Vyre/rus for everything since about 1999.

Kinda funky, some recent author named a character Vyre, and on another forum I got asked if I knew a lot about the book series.

Similarly, from about 2016~2018 I had a rash of people in XIV asking if I was a fan of some streamer who had a story with characters who'd she'd lifted names of FFXI NPCs for, entirely. Naming her own channel/stream persona Aphmau after the third expansion's deuteragonist.

Also got a black metal band from somewhere named VYRE. No questions about that... yet.

Online handles are fun, and I wish modern social media didn't move away from them.
