You shouldn't be forced to be anonymous. If you want to pick the same username, you should be able to. But even so, there's still a required number at the end. So unless your username elsewhere ends in 2 digits and isn't already taken, then you can't pick it anyway
The best compromise might be similar to how it works currently
Right now you enter your username, and then a number is randomly generated but you can change it manually.
Randomly generate both, and allow the user to change both
