Need to rename Brit; taking suggestions

    My character, "Great Brit", is named after my step-daughter Brittany. When she was 12, she used to enjoy playing dress-up on the character, and we had a jolly ol' time together.

    Now she's 14 and she's a snotty brat who hates me (aka, a teenager). Over the past two months, she has become increasingly disruptive to my gameplay about not wanting me to "play her person" anymore. The name is not worth the headache.

    So I'm taking suggestions for a namechange to get her off my back. No Xs or numbers or junk like that obviously, and while I chiefly Heal, I do regularly swap between Nature and Sorcery so I can't be really Powerset Specific in the name. I'm hoping some of the EU players can point me the direction of something generally British enough that I can move forward with the theme of the character, but without having the tie directly to the name "Brit".

    Alternatively, I could move to a slightly more Australian theme to the character, given the Oceanic members of my League, but Super Sheila just doesn't zing for me.

    Given the situation, "Great Brat" would work.

    A sad day for any recognised character being forced to change their name!

    "Beeb" - slang for BBC (British Broadcasting Company).
    "Bobby" - slang for a British policeofficer (works with being a hero).
    "Cockney" - short for cockney rhyming slang (you'd likely not get away with it, so change it to Cokni?).
    "Limey" - slang for British people (a throw back to British sailors/seamen and they penchant for rationing limes to stave off scurvy).

    And my personal favorite, "Pommy" / "Pommie" - in Aus, NZ and SA it is slang for a person of English heritage (less commonly for British or UK but still associated) so it fits the British and Aus themes.

    This is almost definitely too terrible of a pun, but it popped into my head and I might as well offer:
    Winston Churcheal

    Personally, I think names that one makes are better than what others suggest, but I'll try and help. So, I know that your character is british-themed and is a healer. Can you provide a little more background? I think it's safe to assume that your character is female, and since there aren't any gender respec tokens, this won't be changing anytime soon. What kind of british-theme are you going for? Special Forces? Ex-cop? Barber? Dentist? (lol @last one)

    If you sometimes use the nature powerset, I think involving Thatcher in the name could work, since "thatcher" sounds plant-like.

    Ah, my friend has a younger sister that that happened to. Was nice and sweet, two years later, turned into a demon from hell (and has been that way ever since).

    Anyway! Maybe you can think of an in-character transition for your character. Like how Marvel Boy of the old New Warriors turned his name into Justice after a life-changing event. Dunno any names off the top of my head, but willing to brainstorm.
