I don't see any problem with being circumspect with your online identity. I don't use my real name here because some clients and family members would judge me for my opinions in ways that would create needless drama and even financial hardship for me.
In addition, my views and attitudes and what I feel like venting about may change and years from now I may find my current childish prattling to be something I don't want to be identified with. Not really because someone might discover these musings and connect them with me, as that, as a rule, I myself am amazed at the crazy sh_t I believed twenty years ago, and don't want to remind myself of it ;-)
But you seem to be saying that you're uneasy about your name itself and that this is simply amplified by using it on the internet. That would seem to me a separate issue. Does it mean something or have some connotation in your language, or is it just an unpopular or old-fashioned name? "Manjit" means nothing to me, and I suspect to most people. What does it mean to you??
(Note, however, that if you answer this question you are simply giving me an excuse to think something about your name ... maybe if you weren't so anxious about it, others wouldn't pick up on whatever it is you're telegraphing).
I don't know what the law is in your country, but in the U.S. it's actually surprisingly easy to change your name if you don't like it. Most people don't realize it. That is one way out, and if you find it doesn't really solve your core issue, whatever it is, or if your anxiety moves to something else in your life, that is instructive, too.
Just a thought, for what it's worth.
