Damien, tell me if you think that this is totally stooooopid but:

I guess the whole idea behind an impersonal internet persona / name is that it should have the following qualities:

1. The name should be distinct enough from everybody elses that it is instantly recognisable.
2. There should be an element of mystery (that whole, "how did you come up with your name?" thing.
3. It should still be something personal to you.

So, here is what I propose....a simple, elegant name which is personal to you whilst still being distinct enough that people will remember that they have seen it before. You should be able to maintain a certain amount of mystery over how you got the name, although it's related to your real name it shouldn't be too obvious as your real name isn't that common.

So, your new name?
