My pseudonym is Eden Curtis. My real name is long and extremely prone to mispronunciation.
Stay gold.

A psudonym, if I ever got published work, I would rather my face and name be reasonably unknown, I would rather create a cartoonish or 3d modeled face for people to imagine me under if I had to give anything at all.

Also my real name is just like normal English words put together, and a middle name taken from the name of a angel, blah to that. (Strange since I have no British blood, but oh well.)

Self quoting is the key to sounding wise and all knowing.

This is an interesting question. I imagine that I would be wise to go with a pseudonym simply because my name doesn't stand out that much. However I would prefer to use my real name if I ever got that far.

Nicole Maleigh Gracems. It uses all the letters from my real name, they're just rearranged. :D

I would have to make up my own name I'm pretty sure. Yes my own name's fine but it would be really cool if I could make up something really cool.

I do believe that insane is the only way to go.

Especially because my real name is in two movies and I do not fancy the nickname princess Fiona.

I wanted to do my initials like J.K. Rowling or J.D. Salinger, but I wanted to remove any perceptions on my last name, not my first. So I guess I'm doing other, but it's still my intials: Dianne E.C.E.

My penname is actually my username on here. Catchy, ain't it? Raven is my first name. I love moons, they look so cool. When Ricky and I where really little, he gave me the moon as a birthday gift. <3 I also like how stones look, skipping stones is awesome as well.
Hence the name.
All though, I might have an alternate one for different writing.

My birth name! I have a common name, first, last, and middle, but I'd still want my name to be on the book I worked so hard to create, y'know.

Plus, my first name may be common, but it has an uncommon spelling. Maybe if I was a popular author people would stop misspelling my name :)

I would go with a variation of pseudonym and initials. For example my name is Kendra Carole (last name) so I would do K. Carrie (last name)

i'm going Samuel L. Jackson style
And the angel said unto him, “stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself.” But lo, he could not stop, for the angel was hitting him with his own hands.

My name is one of those normal names, if you know what I mean. If you want to get noticed, a good way to do so is by having a name that rolls of your tongue and can be easily remembered. Just like Cassandra Clare and Lemony Snicket, as some of your awesome people have said. :D
