I've decided that Iceblossom is too long and now try for about 6-8 characters, most people just call me Ice, but it was perfect for that character and race/class and it was all perfect for me. I know it's hard to understand for non-gamers but I played Ice 2-6 hours a day for 6+ years, it's like having a character in a book. I am not my characters and my characters are not me, but we do have some similarities.
But the curiosity I understand
In a similar sort of thing when stuck in traffic (because otherwise I don't see well enough) I like to figure out personalized license plates.
I like the double nn's in your name, I think it personalizes it well. It can be hard to get the names we want the way we want them and the double N plus Ann with an E all help.
PS: I have a theme song too. Of course it's Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice. You got a problem, yo I'll solve it!
Edit: It's like having two theme songs in one because Under Pressure by Queen with David Bowie works for me too

Oh Watson, your horse is gorgeous!
When DH and I retired in 2001 we moved from the San Diego area to a farm in Northern British Columbia, in a tiny farming community called Dunster. We spent 4 wonderful years there, then moved to Oregon, where I learned to quilt. I cherish those years in Dunster, so I used it as my member name, and also as a business name (dunsterQuilts).

My username is pretty obvious too. I was born and raised in New Zealand. I've been in the USA for almost ten years but I still have a distinctive accent. Even though I've embraced America as my country (dual-citizenship) and I love the USA, my birth country is still a great part of who I am.
