I'm looking for name suggestions (and have prize money to give away)

Howdy everybody :)
I work at an architecture firm and was just assigned the task of bringing part of a retail development up to code. That means Americans with Disabilites Act (ADA) compliance out the wazoo - bathrooms, egress requirements, and drinking fountains. The most effective way to spec these ADA-compliant fountains is "Hi-Lo" which is annoyingly close to my name here.
I am going to spend the majority of my summer detailing ADA compliance and will be specifying Hi-Lo drinking fountains over and over and over and over. Since this game is meant to be an escape from the real world (rather than a reminder of the monotony of building and plumbing codes), I want to change my username.
Here's where the fun starts. I don't particularly know what my new stable name should be, and I'd like some help brainstorming ideas. If I pick a name someone here suggests (or something really really close), it will be worth 500k hb.
Yes, you read that right. Half a million hb if you help me come up with a new username that I actually use. That's worth 2 GMT tokens (40 IV), in case you're wondering. I'm hoping the heavy incentive will really inspire you all to be super creative, because I want to find a new username before I go crazy :)
There is no guarantee that there will be a 500k grand prize winner, but in the event that I don't find a name I use I will award 100k each to five of the best suggestions.
I imagine you'll all have tons of questions for me, and that's great - but let's save this post for entries and clarification of guidelines. If you'd like to ask me questions about ANYTHING AT ALL, come on over and join my buddy chat [open to the public for this event] by clicking HERE.
This contest will run through 11:59pm game time on Friday, May 26. Winner(s) will be contacted over the following weekend. Entries MUST follow the format at the bottom of this post to be counted, and you may submit as many suggestions as you'd like in a single post. There is no advantage to making multiple posts under multiple accounts - you may ask me to split the prize money between any accounts you own provided they are all following game rules.

Thanks everyone for your input! I'll look over these and post results tonight :)

Wow how time flies!! "Tonight" became "next month" - sorry!!
Major thanks to @Corvus and @Coppercloud, who (between the two of them) are the inspiration for my new username and (eventually) stable name.
Corvus suggested "Beyond Helianthus Fields" and Coppercloud suggested "Sunseed" - I think I'll be shortening Helianthus to Helia for my username (feels pretty close, but not exactly HiLo), and I think Sunseed sounds like an awesome stable name to relate to my new sunflower-based identity. :)
You two will be splitting the prize money down the middle, and it'll be in your accounts shortly - thanks so much for helping me out!!
