Well, that's easier said before you choose ~ than after..
To create a new Google Account, with its own password
and its related 2FA secure login, you could share one with
your family, probably. And change it too, & keep it secure.
With that account could have a 'non-name', you can make one up:
Pseudonym (noun; fictitious name, esp. one used by an author.
Which may include a known birth-date month/year, not all exact.
And also use that to login to YouTube & save visited sites, etc,
send/forward duplicate of articles, & maybe sign up limited stuff.
Keep it separate; from a known personal account, the public you.
If you've already a personal account in Google Accounts, that
has a real identity, then you can manage that; use Google Help.
Just some ideas; I used a 'google sites' & earlier content to share;
but haven't done much there in several years. Google edits those.
Access & control activity in your account - Computer - Google Account Help

Google Help
Help Center
https://support.google.com/accounts
https://myaccount.google.com/
And then, there's also those random sites one may visit
that have a 'Google sign-in' pop-up (I avoid those too.)
As those only complicate an otherwise tedious maze.
.Harder to un-subscribe from even more diversions.
