Pen Name? - Comments

I'm currently having the same problem. My name is Tawni Beauchemin and I have never met a single person who has been able to pronounce it properly. So I thought about just shortening it to T.M. Beauche. That way I still have my Frenchness without being overwhelming. But that name just doesn't feel comfortable to me. Lol.

L.A. Stuart sounds very professional.

I had an old pen name which I don't even remember. The one I use now is Maira Vee because its similar to my real name Maria - Dimitra Vetsika.

I like your mothers maiden name. I use a pen name for my first name. Legally, I'm Brittany but I've gone by Nikki for so many years that when someone says "hey Brittany". I don't answer them

I like L. A. Stuart. but it sounds a bit masculine to me. I feel like if you pick a different last name it could sound more feminine.
