Different online presence for different websites

Different avatars and usernames for different websites?
Last night I created 2 free SiteRubix websites to experiment with some niche ideas I have. As I was setting them up, I went to each Dashboard and tried to provide a username for each one, but the username cannot be changed.
I asked on LiveChat and some members informed me that I can provide my account with a nickname, and use it as an option for how I want my name to be displayed when I comment on my site or when I blog (instead of posting as "admin" which is the default choice).
Well, I still wanted a different icon to appear next to each nickname whenever I posted/commented on my sites. That's because the niches are unrelated and I wanted an icon that represents each one accordingly.
Manage multiple identities with one Gravatar account
After logging into my Gravatar account, which I thought provided you with a unique avatar, I discovered I can add new email addresses to it. And I can upload new images and associate whatever image I want with whichever email address. By providing a different email address on the dashboard of each website, I was able to have a different icon associated with my nickname.
What about you? If you have more than 1 websites created in WA, do you use the same Gravatar icon or multiple ones? Would that lead to problems and confusions in the future?
Thanks for reading!
