Usernames: Thoughts

So I have been thinking for a while about changing my username, and I just kind of had a comment that made me think: Gemma, your username, while being cute six years ago, has become uncute. For real. It wasn't a bad comment or anything, not at all, I totally agreed with it. Highlander Fandom----> Panic! fandom? Do not go. In fact my username limits me, pretty much even in my own head. Therefore, I am thinking of changing.
Something non-fandom specific. I'm Flame_alchemist on buzznet and myspace, but again I don't want to be that.  So here is a question, how did y'all pick your usernames?

That sounds like me describing my friend Nicole! She grew up in Denmark but went to International school (english is her first language) so she has a verrrry strange accent. I mock her more than I mock anyone else because I love her THIS MUCH.

By the time I got English in high school, the teacher was using me as a dictionary because he felt 'it was quicker'. I think television is entirely to blame for my accent. I mean, I manage to work 'arse', 'dude' and 'cunt' into the same sentences on a regular basis. There's gotta be something wrong there.

I can only imagine the chaos when I move to England. Heh.

You are moving to UK? Cool. I'm moving down south soon :-) If you ever need a bed or patch of floor in Scotland let me know.

Not for another year and a half at the least - I've only just started seriously plotting my post-bachelor life, and the UK's where I'm planning to be headed.
