I doubt anyone would find it that interesting. **shrugs.** I'd already had the Ladybug moniker for four years or so by then (which is another story entirely), so I wanted my LJ name to involve ladybugs. But instead of LuckyLadybug, my usual version, I thought it would be funny to make it InsaneLadybug instead. My mom doesn't find it as amusing as I do. XD
If anyone's curious as to where Ladybug came from in the first place, it happened in an old Yahoo Group I was in for Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Everyone was picking nicknames of their song titles to be known as in the group (i.e., Sherry, Candy Girl (not to be confused in any way with Aqua's song Candy Man), Big Man in Town, etc.). I thought for a while and finally chose Lucky Ladybug, an old song that they cover on ... I think it's their Walk Like a Man album. And it stuck.
I've never been a fan of changing one's penname, for several reasons. For one thing, your readers know you as a certain thing. Changing it could confuse them, and in some cases, make it hard for them to find you again. Of course, if you pick a strictly fandom-related thing, then it's understandable to want to change it as your interests change. One reason why I'm glad mine isn't fandom-specific. Lucky/InsaneLadybug can apply anywhere.
I also very rarely change my email. If I like it, I stick with it unless extenuating circumstances make me feel I need to change it. I still use my YGO-related one (sorry, not telling what it is), mainly for surveys, while I have a more recent one I use for personal emails and FF.net/LJ alerts.
