Good ideas for a new user name?

[HorseCrow]

Aines thread on who has changed their MW nicks, got me thinking... if I was to change my MW nick- what should I change it to?

Anyone have some really good ideas?

How 'bout something to do with being a midwife, witch, and wyfe? There are lots of hearth, home, childbirth, type symbols, names out there? Obviously, I would guess you would want something reflective of your given path, etc.

Yes, that is what I have been thinking- mostly the part about being a midwife and being pagan... combined somehow. But I can't come up with much...

Whats wrong with Horsecrow? The only reason I'd change my nick is if the nick somehow gives the wrong impression to who you are.
