I have considered my married name, my maiden name or one of my own creation. What do you all use and why? -------------------- Compassion is the sometimes fatal capacity for feeling what it is like inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too. - Frederick Buechner If society prospers at the expense of the intangibles, how can it be called progress? -LLP

I find that sounds enough like an authors name as need be. -------------------- Caw "I am a Canadian by birth, but I am a Highlander by blood and feel under an obligation to do all I can for the sake of the Highlanders and their literature.... I have never yet spoken a word of English to any of my children. They can speak as much English as they like to others, but when they talk to me they have to talk in Gaelic." -Alexander Maclean Sinclair of Goshen (protector of Gaelic Culture) We need more Stan Rogers. jams

Celtic Guardian Group: Super Moderator Posts: 3,069 Joined: 09-Oct-2003 Zodiac: Holly Realm: Kentucky	I've thought about using Aaediwen, but when I printed Mysteries of the mind I just used my real name on the cover and title page, and I still use my rean name everywhere so far. I've looked into the use of psudonyms, and there can be quite some headaches depending on how far you want to go with it and how hard you want to hide your real identity -------------------- Poet and seeker of knowledge

I had one name for 25 years, and I have had another for 16. Which one am I? Or am I neither? Added atop that my husband's name is of a heritage completely foreign to me. But, again it is the name I have been using for 16 years. Such a quandary......

Celtic Guardian Group: Celtic Nation Posts: 526 Joined: 02-Dec-2003 Zodiac: Holly Realm: Alabama	I usually write under D. Kristine if I am doing poetry, and Chrys Trevin if I am doing fantasy. D. Kristine is my first initial and my middle name, and Chrys Trevin is a character that I write for on a Roleplay site. So they are both me in the complete. On occasion I'll use Dannah K., but no one can every pronounce Dannah, it seems. Everyone says Dana, when its more like Hannah with a D. -------------------- So, I have an new site that is pretty neat, Check out Dannah's Home Page Also, for original storys or thoughts from me, check out my blog: Dannah's Blog

Celtic Guardian Group: Ireland Posts: 200 Joined: 31-Oct-2003 Zodiac: Vine	I use M. Weddel for my poetry. First initial and married name. M. Leblanc-Lowrey for short stories. First initial, mothers maiden name and my maiden name. I use my maiden name and mothers maiden name to show where I get my "talent" (for lack of a better word) from, plus my short stories are usually about my past. I use my married name to show where I get my encouragement and muse from. -------------------- Have a day!

My friend who is a poet does the same. He says when we get famous we can afford a pseudonym -------------------- If Jimmy cracked corn and no one cares, Why is there a song about it?

Chieftain of the Clan Group: Celtic Nation Posts: 117 Joined: 27-Nov-2003 Zodiac: Oak	Hello all! I like this topic. Very interesting to hear the responses. I have always used the name Tara. That is the 'nickname' people came up with instead of using my real name. But for the last 5 years, I have taken back my real name, Therasa, and the initial for my middle name K. (used to think this was the dorkiest name on the earth-Therasa Karoline LOL) Not many people even know it's me when I use the name. Most friends thought Tara was my name. So, when I sign I TherasaK. -------------------- Therasa ************************************************* Sweet kisses after death, are remembered Sweet smiles after death, are recalled Sweet voices after death, are silent Sweet love after death, after all. *************************************************

Celtic Guardian Group: Celtic Nation Posts: 1,127 Joined: 25-Nov-2003 Zodiac: Ash	I have a friend in California who is a romance novel writer, and her pen name is Lauren Royal. But her real married name is Lori Royal-Gordon, and I think that would be a great name to have on a book cover! Maybe she's trying to keep a bit of privacy, I don't know. Lori's books are Emerald, Amythst and Amber and are quite a good read; a bit like Diana Galbadon but better in my opinion... I don't sign my full name on artwork very often, but instead put SGGardner - I got tired of getting writer's cramp when I was signing stacks of reproductions before putting them out to sell way back when. -------------------- "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king..." SGGardner Art www.SouthernShireFarm.com
