Pen Names Anyone?

[ADDGirl]

As was recently pointed out Santa does not have his real name in his profile. Also he is an aspiring writer. Santa is looking to you gaming community to help him come up with a good pen name. As reward for such help the person who comes up with the winning pen name will get a scarf knit by me, nothing fancy but you get to pick the color. It will be super soft and warm.

I suppose it all depends on what he is writing, doesn’t it?

I mean, I am working on a children’s novel, so I’ve decided on a name that I’ve found to be rather warm and welcoming. But, for you, it has to speak to the intended audience. For example, Chuck L. Worthy might be good (okay, that name is never good) for someone writing a comedy, but not for someone working on a horror.

More info, please. :)

Playful or serious both are acceptable. Authors Sue Grafton, John Irving, Patricia Cornwell, JK Rowling, and Steven King.

So, here's a question: why does he feel the need to have a pen name? Is his real name that bad? I don't honestly understand why some people use pen names. I don't know what it's for. Marketability? Pronounceability? De-region-ification?

I think part of it is also in the case that the books end up being unsuccessful or panned by critics, you get a clean slate with every new name. Distinctiveness and avoiding name-based prejudice would be other reasons.

[Doctor Setebos]

I guess I did think of one example: Nora Roberts writes romance, and she used the pen name "J.D. Robb" under which she could write detective mystery novels without upsetting her base audience.

My contribution: Kilgore Trout

There are lots of reasons, really. Some really don't like their names, as you mentioned. Others, however forward-looking it may appear, like to think it would be possible to maintain a sense of privacy, even if they become popular. And then there are indeed those who do it for marketability, and those other reasons; for example, I read that J. K. Rowling’s name was abbreviated because the publisher wasn't sure boys would buy a book with a male hero written by a woman, or something to that effect.

He doesn't like his name, I really don't think he needs another reason.

He doesn't like his name, I really don't think he needs another reason.I was wondering if it might be that simple. :D

[Mr. Murphy]

15 millionth edit: If you're thinking of using the Cassius thing, I think it sounds far better as a first name. See: Cassius Clay (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassius_Marcellus_Clay).

The rule of authors names is usually short first name, long last name. There are exceptions, of course (Stephen King comes to mind) but in general, you want a forgettable first name and a memorable last one. Even in the S.K. case, King is a powerful name - just like Cassius.

However, I kindof like the sound of Cassius Claus.

[Lint of Death]

He doesn't like his name, I really don't think he needs another reason.

One reason is..yes, I don't particular care for my name. It's bland...and common. The second, if I am to put my name on a profile anywhere on the internet, I don't like to use my real name if I don't have to. Just a privacy issue. So I thought it would be an interesting thread idea to start a "PS needs a pen name". I did like your guesses...very serious :). Believe me i'm not that serious of a person...but it's not to think someone thinks I actually have that deep thinking in me:D Ask Ms. Claus, she'll tell you..i'm shallow as hell.

[Purple Santa]

You know, I just saw PS's name in the news section on the front page and I gotta say it kicks mighty fucking ass. Better than any of the ones I've seen in this thread (no offence to those involved).

Santa, I'd stick with it. That's a fucking epic name.
Thanks. Glad you like it. But it was one of two winners.
That was Khrymsyn's suggestion on one of the other pages, the contest winner.
There were two winners. S.C. Cassius also took a prize. I plan on alternating the names so both will be shown.
Wow, it took me reading this two times (4 hours apart) to actually get what I was reading.
Bravo.
It took you 4 hours to read that? I'm hoping there was some major distraction, like a big boobed blond was on your lap so you couldn't read it a second time till 4 hours later. Otherwise it reads as if you took 4 hours to read twice ;).

Clearly someone never read the "How do you sit when you are posting on forums?" thread. :p
