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?

Hee. My name then would be gemcerlean. It's always made me laugh because my initials are G.E.M and my name means a precious jewel or gem.

What a lovely name. :) Perhaps ceruleangem then? :)

Thank you :-) my mum wanted something that wouldn't sound awful in our local accent, and I like the name. Some people hate their name but I've always been content. I'm also the only one on Facebook, believe it or not!
Good idea, maybe that or something to do with diamonds or rubies- rubies are my favourite stone and diamonds are my birth stone.

Good luck with your search.

Congratulations on being unique! :D
