That's how mine came about, too. I didn't want a specific hobbit that I felt I might have to live up to. Hobbits are the ones I like and relate to best and being female, well, there it is.

Well, there is a way but it's long and tedious and you would have to start all over. I stumbled across it by accident.
Originally I started here as Hobbitlass but then we (hubby and I) got a new aol account with new email address. I somehow got logged out of The BarrowDowns and couldn't remember my password. Since I no longer had the email address the site couldn't send it to me and wouldn't (safety/privacy reasons o'course) give it to me at my new one so I had to start over.
Hence the new spelling Holbytlass. I lost all my rankings-I was almost to 500 posts!-and my reputation points. So I don't really recommend it.

Nowadays, I like this spelling and I love my nickname, Holby, given to me by Fea (I pronounce as Fay) in the WW games.
