    J. K. Rowling was the same way. Sad
    Which was what sort of inspired me to go for a more gender neutral pen name. Not that I think I'll ever really publish anything, but I've just been taken with the idea of it.

    I like the name Ezra, but as for last names.....That's a bit harder. I'm trying to pick a combination that sounds relatively common but reasonably interesting. lmfao lmfao

    I'm thinking either Ezra Hyde or Ezra Campbell. Or if I'm feeling like a Regency hero, Ezra Fitzpatrick. That has a nice ring to it. lmfao

    No, but I really do like Ezra Hyde. I think I could be an Ezra.

    My pen name on fanfiction.net is Catarina Shan after one of my characters. I really like it but...

    Since I usually write about boys I plan to use a gender neutral name when I get published. I'd either do my first two initials and my last name (like J.K.Rowling)
    or I'd use Chris and my last name since my real first name is Christine.

    My pen name is Druscilla Ryan, but I'll be legally changing my name to that hopefully within the year. Coffee
    I only go by Dru/Druscilla now.

    I love pen names personally, and I have used several of them over the years. Usually they are my name spelled differently, or using my middle name as a first name. My most recent one would be Leigh Parker

    If I ever get published, I've always thought of using the pen name Lilah Livingston. I don't know why I would use that, but it's always been my first choice.

    I don't think I'd use a pen name. I'd like to have my own name because I'm really proud of my work, you know?

    Also, even if I did want to use a pen name, I still don't even think I'd have one. I already have enough trouble thinking of names for my characters and sims. I can't imagine how it'd be to think of a pen name. XD

    You can find me everywhere with my real name Maria - Dimitra Vetsika or my nickname XXXataktoulaXXX.
    I've been thinking about it and I think I'd either keep my real name written as M.D. Vetsika or Maira Vi | Maira Vee.

    My pen name is Effie and Iggy. I only use those two while I am on this site. My real name is Sofia/Sofi, but I hate both versions. Yak I prefer my pen names.

    I would definitely use my middle name Mia and my other middle name (not going to see it because I do hope to use it when I get published) because my real name is so common and boring.

    Using a pen name is something I will absolutely do when I get published! :D

    Yup, I have this all thought out.

    I use Colorado because my real name is a city in Colorado and it sort of became my nickname in real life. I like it because it's gender-neutral (well, so is my real name, although it leans toward more feminine). I usually use Garret or Axel for surnames/middle names because I like the name Garret and I was almost named Axel. I like Riose as a middle name-pseudonym because it's just like my real middle name with an extra letter (also a character in Asimov's Fountation and Empire).

    It doesn't seem very believable, but my real name's kind of out there too.
