I've had two other friends change their usernames, and both of their new usernames have become them, if it makes sense. It's become kind of a signification of who they are now, versus who they were when they started their journals back a few years ago. I've thought of changing mine to something more personal, but haven't because I still "luv chicago". My sn, though, is also a result of speeding through the registration process...I just haven't made the effort to think of a different name.
Regarding the first name last name thing...do you really want all of your future fans knowing all the details of your life? From what I know of you, you seem to be a relatively private person (as private as one can be with a massive readership) by keeping your name and Lambda's name confidential, etc. I know that I, personally, would want a separate journal for updates about future books, fan questions, etc, and one for my real friends. But, that's just me, not you. :)
Anyways, my .02. It might be worth slightly less than that, though.
