Ok, I'll go ahead & give it, since no one got it.

Susan Leigh: Could be a mainstream novelist, but my first thought was 'romance.'
Joeyta Dutta. Said exactly as it is written, if you can believe it!
Talking to my grandma about pen names. She told me I should publish under her grandma's name.
Bertha Viola Cooch.
No, I'm totally serious. Her full name was Bertha Viola Cooch.
I'm not publishing under that, it's just too funny not to share.
Ben L. Hoover, Sr. - historical fiction, biography (older history-makers or government/political) figures... this name sounds old and so I expect older-type topics
Anna Krentz - murder mysteries, perhaps mystery-romances, but I doubt it
Reese Pyne - YA, especially those of an apocalyptic-urban fantasy tilt... you know, all the rage these days
My pen name is Elly Green.
NO CHEATING by reading my signature!!!
Truthfully, with a name like Elly Green, I would think sci-fi in the vein of the Avatar movie.
To me it is the "Lee" that reminds me of Lee Child, one of the most popular thriller writers today. The "Raven" waters the thriller writer down to urban fantasy.Lee Raven is perfect for mystery / thriller. It's the "Raven" that's doing it.
Don't do place names as a last name. Sounds like a figure from a cartoon. Place names for first names is cool, currently (Dakota Fanning, Looking for Alaska), but may fall out of fashion quickly.Cora Austin
Reminds me of Alex Rider. Sounds like MG or YA action with a mystery touch.Max Raven
There's this famous German writer, Kurt Tucholsky, whose name is pronounced /tuˈxɔlski/ in IPA or two-chol-ski (with the "ch" pronounced as in Scottish "loch"). It's a common name in and around Berlin. I didn't know what to make of the "e" at the end of your name, which looks like an Americanization to me. Do you have German ancestors?Ok, I'll go ahead & give it, since no one got it.

After being kind of called back to this thread (someone recommended it to another), I realized that my name gives off the wrong vibe, lols.
Stephanie IS my real name, and Kay is my middle name. Since I don't write contemporary anything, it's off the mark. Though someone said "cutesy YA romance" and that DOES sound cute. O_O
Oh dear.
My real name is Stephanie Southwell, but I have several reasons for not using that name.
1) Stephanie Southwell seems too long
2) I've been dating this guy for five and half years, and we plan on getting married soon-ish; my last name would change to Lawson
3) It sounds ugly
I don't like the idea of using a new name, since I want to see something I, and others around me, would recognize on a book. I'm still kind of thinking about it.
I think it's more melodic than with Lawson, which, obviously, would only ever be your name if you chose to change your name.
Cornflake? Corn Flake? C. Flake?
Personally, I'm not much enarmoured of abbreviated first names.How do you guys feel about J. Perez?
I totally plan to change my last name.I think it's more melodic than with Lawson, which, obviously, would only ever be your name if you chose to change your name.
