So wait... dunno if I asked this, but why do you wish to have a pen name other than just to have one to be cool?

Well me last name would get me some notice, but I wouldn't want to be noticed that way >> Also My first name is pretty girly, and I want to write more adventure stories then silly romances or other girly things >>
This webpage also helped me figure that stuff out. Besides I've already cornered the market on Avery Faust P: Just gotta wait to grawl over all the stuff I did

I had to do this for class once, I chose Paul Coolidge. I'm pretty sure I've anyone gets the last name, but none the first!

I know right?! It's just awesome sounding. Though everyone thought it was President Coolidge, and I was like, "Uh, no, I'm taking it from a video game character." Then it got quiet.

You spoke the forbidden word :X Don't worry, us gamers are ostracised all over the world, especially in Japan 
So I'm sticking with Avery Faust for my fantasy endeavors, and Kristin Call for anything else I wish to dabble in

I wrote a love poem to a girl I liked last year, using Saine S. Devilot as my pen name. I had to tell her it was me when she freaked out and Googled it

Well, I hadn't planned on her figuring it out just then. My plan was to write another poem under the same name every day for the next week, then tell her at the end >.> But she was so freaked out I felt bad about it.

Freaked out as in the good kind or the bad kind, Tress? >.>
Hm.... A pen name for me... Oh god.... Writer's block @.@ I'd use one of my character names but most if not all are too weird to be believable.

You know, Shadow, to this day I'm not sure O.o She looked like she was about to go into full-blown panic mode, though. She wasn't used to getting attention from guys as far as I know.

In... teresting >.>; Well at least she kept things new and different ^^;
But I've been mulling over a pen name for myself just for kicks... So far I've come up with one. Gerard/Gerald Wolf. Wondering if I should put an "e" at the end of Wolf.
Sounds the most believable name I've thought of... And it's a reference to the book and game series The Witcher. The main character's name is Geralt, and one of his many titles is the White Wolf.
