If you want to use the same account for multiple imports then I think you should choose a generic name. Otherwise, if someone browses the history of an address in Massachusetts, they will find it has been added by "Bragg Some Other Import" (since only the user ID and not the user-name-at-the-time are stored in the object history). The general idea between the "separate import account" rules was that if it should later turn out the import was broken or violated the law (or if OSM were to change its license and the data could not be kept under the new license), it would be trivial to just kick out everything that comes from "Bragg Import Foo Bar" - easier than having to sort through different changesets by source tag or so.
