Usernames: Thoughts

[astoryandasong]

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?

I used to be Evil Willow back when I was totally in BTVS fandom, but when I got on LJ I was kind of done with BTVS fandom, and I think someone else has evilwillow as a username, anyway. I choose queenofhell because I've always liked the Persephone myth, and apparently she's the goddess of my birthday. And I really like "Pandora's Aquarium" by Tori Amos, which references the Persephone myth as well.

I think I actually remember you from BTVS if you were evil willow.
Thanks for the answer: hearing about other people's usernames is helping me out. I'm still trying to decide if I have enough affection for the name and the character to keep it.
