I'm sorry if this is already a thread, but i figured this would be fun.

Just post a new pen name for yourself and we'll see how many we can come up with.

Mine: Aaron Kotz

Are you aware of what the last name means in German?

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.

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?

try:

From Wikipedia
Vivian Beaumont Allen (March 22, 1885 October 10, 1962), patroness of theatre in New York City, she funded construction of the Vivian Beaumont Theatre at Lincoln Center, which was completed after her death. Her father, J.E. Beaumont, founded the May Company department stores to which she was heiress.

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

my many lovely worlds...
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.)
