Does "seudónimo" suffice for "online handle"?
My online handle is "ariyah." I've heard "seudónimo" be used to mean online handle, but that doesn't seem like a modern term that social networkers use. Is there a better, more youthful term for "handle"?

"Seudónimo" (formerly pseudónimo) is "pseudonym" (or pen name), but there are other synonyms like "apodo", "mote", "sobrenombre"... while "usuario" is obviously "user". Different people use different terms in different countries, but I'd say that the latter is the most common (although I could be wrong).
Usually you see nombre de usario or apodo. I think apodo (nickname) is close to what you want.
