That has been my strategy for the last decade or so, Unless I have a solid reason to I never use my real name when placing orders and generally never the same fake name twice, always use a virtual credit card, if it's a non-physical product I don't even use my real address. I have some old phones I throw pre-paid sim cards into when I need to do number confirmation. The goal is to create a little consistent linkable data to me and at least generate some noise in all these data broker collection processes.
I do the same, I worry that eventually someone's going to need to see my driver's license and refuse me because my ancient account info doesn't match.
"It says here that this shipment is for Firstname Lastname at 1 Main St, Yourcity, born January 1st in the same year as you. Your license has a different address and different birth day and month, so you're not the same person."
