Tandav is a good name.
Tandava is a divine dance performed by the Hindu gods - so the name has positive connotations for anyone who cares to look it up.
For most users here, the name would be neutral, free of associations.

Iamlost suggests I-am-lost - which suggests a person perhaps lacking in direction, confidence and hope - a person who may be vulnerable. That could attract unwelcome predator and troll types.
Or it could attract codependents or rescuers - they can be controlling types - also not good for healthy relationships.

I chose Clothos because for most people it would be meaningless. It doesn't attract unwholesome types of male attention. Only someone well educated in the classics would understand it.
It doesn't always work because some people are random in their approaches - don't bother to check out anything about the person they're approaching. Then one just has to deal with it, reject as appropriate.

But the right name and avatar is very helpful in fending off most of the unwelcome types.
