Why not use the French pronunciation of Fountain, pronounced Fontayne and the Italian Lucia - Thereby becoming Lucia Fontayne

Infra Deckling Ink"
Come on Ingrid, you can do be..."
of course. i will have to look at them a second time...but this crazy online anagram site made me stick to the word "Infra" which i think is really cool. Especially the letters that make up ink. yours however are much practical.
An anagram site? Can you post the link, please?

Mostly these sites are geared up to make other words from words not proper names, so there is no easy way but the old fashioned pen and paper!
I think I need help on my name. I can create awsome names for my characters, but other than that, I'm stumped on a name for myself!

Damn I had a great one for an erotica writer. Candy Bushpearl or something.
If I ever was publish (hopefully) I have no clue. It would be Holly J. Brock , completely random. I just picked it now.
I think I'd go with a guy's name:Jean-Baptiste Soule.
My nickname by a few set of my Pagan friends was Little Lost Fae. So, my author name is Lilly Fae.
My author name would be Selina Locke. This is not my real name but I like the way this one sounds and looks.

My real name is Shlomo Reuben. However, I wonder what to use for different genres of novels I write.1. Should I use my real name for genres I love to write?
2. Should I use a pen name for genres I would start experimenting on?
I like fantasy and sci-fi genre-based novels to write.
But I would like to experiment on other genres as well, such as thriller, mystery, erotica, political, drama, romance, etc.
Open to all possible choices given. :)
It really depends on what kind of books you want to be known for. If you want to be an author that is known to write many genres, only have one name. But if you only want one name to be known for one kind of genre, then create some other author names for the other types of genres you want to experiment in. Hope this helps!
I'm only fifteen years old, but one of my novels has already been published, and I struggled to decide what I wanted my author name to be for while.Finally, I just went ahead and used my real name--Jessica Lyn Cozzi :)
I'm thinking of going to go with my real name or my nickname, or the name Candy. I like that name
Aw haha I like your full name Britt!
Jessica wrote: "Aw haha I like your full name Britt!"Hmmm maybe it would be Brittany "Candy" Ann McKittrick
Britt wrote: "Jessica wrote: "Aw haha I like your full name Britt!"Hmmm maybe it would be Brittany "Candy" Ann McKittrick"
Or Candy McKittrick?
Selina wrote: "My author name would be Selina Locke. This is not my real name but I like the way this one sounds and looks."
I like it too, and it is distinctive enough that you shouldn't find a dozen others when looking for it on the Internet.

Yeah
My name is pretty distinct too hahaha, I don't think I've ever met anybody with their middle name spelled the same way mine is. I've met girls who spell their middle name Lynn or Lynne, even Lin, but never "Lyn."

If there comes a day in age where goofy or unique names are not instantly heckled (excusing the pseudonym for Dr.Seuss) then I would want my author name to be a pseudonym of my real name:
Grindi Clank Knife
Mod
One of my friends writes as "Hestia Sky"
Marc Nash is not my legally conferred name
My pen name will be (and is on NaNoWriMo) Susan Leigh, which according to someone on another site I frequent, sounds like a romance novelist. I'm perturbed but oh well.
I use my original name. Harsh.It means 'Happiness' in Hindi and 'Cruel' in English.
Intresting...Isn't it? ;)

Wait...that's making up an entirely different kind of name. NM.

In that case my name would be

Okay :)
I found my writing taking two very different paths and realized that someone who read and liked one type could be disappointed, even feel betrayed, if they picked a story that wasn't in the same vein.So I chose names that are related, but different: R. Liralen goes on the more mystical, heady fantasy; R. Rommalb goes on the trans-genre stuff.

However, it is because she writes both young adult and adult books.
Lenn McKinney. That's my middle name and my married name. I sign my artwork with my middle name too. I love my middle name.When I was in high school I had a completely fabricated pen name: Selphie Dionysus... The word selfie wasn't a real word back then...
i used a variant of my name when i first published back in the past when i was worried about my uber conservative family finding my work (kinbari meriueza) but i found out they don't care and don't even read books unless it's christian + subgenre (christian romance, christian horror, etc etc). so i just used my initials now. my name is already super long >_< if it weren't for the problematic tax paperwork, i'd prolly stick with it.

Of course, I try to enunciate the 'e' so it sounds a bit different as well.
I've decided that I want to come up with a completely different pen name for myself. I came up with "TK Selbach" when I was pretty little, and it's a bit lazy. The only reason I wanted to use my initials was because my middle name starts with K, just like JK Rowling.I'm still trying to think of what I want to include in my pen name... all I have so far is "Roxanne", or at least some variation of it. (Maybe "Roxanna"?)
I like Ariel Alynn. it's my first and middle name since my last name has and will most likely change. what do you think?
The repeated A definitely makes it stand out, but I'm not sure if it flows smoothly enough... What does everyone else think?
i'd want mine to be an anagram of my name because my real one sounds boring

Come on Ingrid, you can do better than that - remember those anagrams I sent you?
