My first name is near impossible for people to pronounce correctly on the first try (it's pronounced Shan-tell for anyone interested) and I have always detested it even though I was named after a song.

I've used pen names on blogs such as:

Lilyanna Evans (I was 12)
Harley Lyons
Rose Crawfield
Dallin Lyons

The only ones that really hold significance for me are Harley because that was one of the options for my first name and Dallin I found online and Lyons is my mother's maiden name and I've loved it.

This is difficult. I would go with my first name and my middle name and surname being initials. My surname is pronounced entirely differently to how it's spelt. Most people that I've met almost always get my middle name confused.
I'm very shy. Might not respond.

I think I'd use my initials, because I have an extra middle name so I have three initials and I like the way they sound.

I use King of Eli for my regular novels and stuff, and Vladimir Grimm for the dark poetry and things
Feel free to just randomly message me, I get bored easily.

I'm a black, non-binary transgender boy, who is a Christian witch (tentative for now). I'm also a panromantic asexual. I sell poetry; contact me if you're interested in buying poems from me.

Almost everyday I think of a "Made up name" for me!

I'm afraid, if i really start publishing my books with made up names (after another 33 years!), I'll forget those names myself. "Those" because i can't stick to one name for that long...Bad thing.

I love my real name and my last name is cool and common!

I'm going to use my own name, but not in the right order.

I like my first name, but it doesn't sound attention grabbing, as far as books go, and I do like my last name and middle, so probably something like Francesca, and my last name.

I put down others because I would use Pseudonyms and initials. Like a fake firstname and it'll be in initials
