I love this! :D

Can't think of one for myself at the moment; but if I had to, I'd probably chose the name of some minor character from a book I really like; or else something grandiose like Christine de Pizan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_de_Pizan).

I've got a list of thirty I wrote out last night so I could keep replying all night one by one:

I decided first and foremost on:

Vivian Beaumont

I googled it and found it was the name of a Theatre in New York. I like that pen name and might use it for my new novel (WIP) a love story.

Does anyone know who she was originally?

[edwardcullen13]

Aiden Sweet

[Penguin Queen]

try:

From Wikipedia
Vivian Beaumont Allen (March 22 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_22), 1885 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1885) – October 10 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_10), 1962 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1962)), patroness of theatre (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadway_theater) in New York City (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City), she funded construction of the Vivian Beaumont Theatre (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivian_Beaumont_Theatre) at Lincoln Center (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_Center), which was completed after her death. Her father, J.E. Beaumont (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=J.E._Beaumont&action=edit), founded the May Company (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_Department_Stores) department stores to which she was heiress.

Thank you Melissa! Great information.

[edwardcullen13]

No Problem, glad to help. : )

Puke

You should be all right as long as your books dont get translated ;)

[edwardcullen13]

maybe i wont use that one then..lol


Hayden Writebloch

[Bo Sullivan]

Another one I might use for another WIP, is:

Monica Buckingham

It's a murder story, and the murderer gets hung at Newgate Prison in London. It made me think of law and order and the Royal family of England.

Monica was my mother's name.

Barbara

[Storm Surge]

Desmond Doomsday

[JBI]

Dan Braun

[Bo Sullivan]

Desmond Doomsday

Good one for a history writer.

[SilverVistani]

Lately I've been thinking Kitty Brown but... er... there are issues and reasons and, well, let's not go there...

At one point I was jokingly referring to myself as K.T. Effe because I'm most commonly called Katie and my last name starts with an F.

So, well, those are two I've considered. ^_^() And, I mean, considering that my real first and last name are both 9 letters long each and very German... eh, I was sick enough of hearing my name mispronounced over the intercoms throughout all my elementary through high school careers. I don't want to risk eventually having an entire nation attempting and failing to pronounce me. ><

I just haven't made an actual decision about who I want to be yet. *shrug*

(Not that I have any faith at all in my ability to get published, mind, but that's besides the point.)

Keep faith in yourself. The rest will follow.

Aya Main

[Ziljon]

I was thinking of using one for my mystery novel, what do you think:

The Tiger's Revenge
by
Claude Bowles

[edwardcullen13]

Ooooo, i like it.

[HoosierCowgirl]

Anneliza something ... maybe Anneliza Bockhofer

the original Anneliza in my family was a Quaker girl whose family moved from North Carolina to Indiana because the group strongly disagreed with slavery.

I thought this was very cool when I found it out.

Ann

[elisabeth]

When I was 13 I wanted my pen name to be Emily Crossbow. I'm not sure why. My first name is Emily.

[jordijoy]

Paige Turner.

I love it!!!!

[jordijoy]

Paige Turner.
I love it!!!

[Alana Mortensen]

I have thought about Shaitain and Alandra Alan and Alana Mortensen and Vivien Thompson and Alandra Aers. Have used Alana Mortensen as an alias for poetry as well as Alandra Aers. For my novels Vivien Thompson and Alana Mortensen also writing dot com pen names.

[ErylRavenwell]

Sean Easter.

[Madican]

Justin Alias

Think about it for a minute.

[edwardcullen13]

Veronica Newben

[scarletpeaches]

Shaven Haven, by Mary Hinge.

[aadams73]

I was considering I.P. Freely. Or maybe Ophelia Legg.

[MajorDrums]

Baronessa Frankappeal.

[Tracy]

I am so jealous of the author Santa de Montefiore, because that's such an amazing terrific name - and it's her REAL name. How cool is that!

If I had a pen-name I'd go like with the porn names, your 1st pet's name and then your 1st street. So my pen-name would be:

[roll of drums]

Mitzi Crescent.

Hmm ... needs some work.

[SilverVistani]

Keep faith in yourself. The rest will follow.


Thank you. ^_^()

And everyone has such clever-- and often amusing-- ideas. *giggles*

[Lady Esther]

Joan Mordecai

or

I.M.A. Goodreed

[scarletpeaches]

Ivor Biggun.

[Saanen]

I've been thinking of using Robin Rhys as a pen name--don't know why, I just like the way it sounds. Now it sounds silly. :)

[Sassee]

Someone needs to help ninja bunny come up with a pen name... <evil grin>

[ccarver30]

Cat Sebastian

[shakeysix]

what else?--s6

[Jersey Chick]

I can't come up with something clever - so I alternate between the porn name (Sandy Taylor - how's that for a dud), and Karen Taylor - for some reason, everyone insists I look like a Karen. What, exactly, does a Karen look like?

[shakeysix]

how about Ophelia Upp?--s6

[lisamarie]

I like using the porn name idea. I'd be Dusty Sterling. I think I kinda like it.

[edwardcullen13]

Rusty Sessions

[lisamarie]

My husbands first pet was a cat named Lisa. He's be Lisa Cabot.

[OverTheHills&FarAway]

J.M. Ippy.

The initials really are mine, and the last name is so when people who don't know my first name address me, since they naturally won't know my first name (it will be a closely guarded secret) they'll have to call me Mrs. Ippy.

It was from a more deranged moment of mine....

Either that, or A.B. Cedee.

[Mysti]

I've thought about going by Mysti Linne or Miss T. Linne; with Linne being my middle name.

[raydad]

F.A. Raye
Dash Caprock
Loyal D'Amore

[Zoombie]

Mathew Tabernacle.

[EriRae]

Mine would be Karen, too, or Ann. Maybe I need to carry a pack of Q-tips with me because people either add to my name or miss the "R." Karens must look very pissed, because that's how I look when someone calls me that.

Karen Diller...that's when someone really f**ks with my name
Ann Hillerman

Nah...I'd prefer Artemis Sloan. Always loved Artemis.

Faruka Mercurius <---Emotional favorite

Honestly, I'm going to use my real name because I'm vain and forgetful and I might miss an opportunity to gloat b/c people are talking about ME.

[Stephen Davis]

James Westfall or Dr. Kenneth Noisewater.

[auntybug]

Ivanna Tinkle

[reigningcatsndogs]

Myra Mains? (I write mysteries!)
