There's no hard rule on how you choose a tag, but there's a custom of taking what someone suggests in your tagging thread. I did that, but modified it slightly, and now I feel a little bad about it.
Once you pick something, you should probably PM Amoebic with your choice, so they catch the message.
Now, I am I allowed to change my tag, or do I keep it forever, like luggage?
It's best that you choose something you like. Folks do love tradition, so it can be fun to partake. However, if over time you don't feel good about it anymore, talk to me and we'll work something out.
Folks have asked to change them for a variety of personal reasons. If tags or forum names have aged poorly or are no longer appropriate in polite society, I have no qualms making the adjustments.
You can change your handle for similar reasons, too. One recent example is SpacePPoliceman, who, when wave after wave of horrible police behavior came to light following the murder of George Floyd, decided a handle associated with police was undesirable.
So if you become immortal or something, you have options.

There have been cases of goodjers changing their tags, for very personal reasons, but in general : no takesies backsies.
TY dejanzie, I will have to give this considerable consideration.

It's the logo (? it was on an album cover and some merch) of the band Ween. Hence, my suggestion.
