Hey everyone! I’m a little bit embarrassed about this, but I seriously need some help with a pen name! My current pen name {[name_f]Marie[/name_f] O’[name_f]Marilyn[/name_f]} just sounds too fake to me. {I choose it a long time ago} The whole reason I decided to go with a pen name is my real last name is really unique, and sounds a little bit like I should be writing rhyming stories for little kids. I also want a name that will keep my initials.{A.M.T.} My middle will be [name_f]Marie[/name_f], but I might not even use it depending on what my first and last are going to be. I’ve considered [name_f]Avalon[/name_f] [name_m]Todd[/name_m], but it doesn’t sound right to me. Maybe I could keep my first name, and just change my last?? What do you guys think?

Sunames starting with “T”:
A.M. [name_m]Thompson[/name_m]
A.M. [name_m]Thorne[/name_m]
A.M. [name_m]Truman[/name_m]
A.M. [name_m]Taggart[/name_m]
A.M. [name_m]Travis[/name_m]
A.M. [name_m]Towers[/name_m]
A.M. [name_u]Tate[/name_u]
A.M. [name_f]Tyne[/name_f]
A.M. [name_m]Tanner[/name_m]
A.M. [name_m]Travers[/name_m]
I like the surname [name_m]Todd[/name_m]. It’s short and sweet, and I think could pair with a lot of names.
Names beginning with “A”: (I chose them based on how they went with [name_f]Marie[/name_f] in case you want to use it)
[name_u]Addison[/name_u]
[name_f]Audrina[/name_f]
[name_u]Andrea[/name_u]
[name_f]Avril[/name_f]
[name_f]Ava[/name_f] (might be a bit simple but, for a pen name, I think simple is perfect)
[name_f]Alaina[/name_f]
[name_f]Alana[/name_f]
[name_f]Amanda[/name_f]
[name_f]Alba[/name_f] (I personally love this name, but it is very different from [name_f]Avalon[/name_f])
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] (pretty and would sound nice, but might be a bit made-up sounding)
[name_f]Alessia[/name_f]
I’m personally lukewarm about [name_f]Avalon[/name_f], but I respect it. I do like the sound of [name_f]Avalon[/name_f] [name_m]Todd[/name_m], but if it’s not working for you, then drop it.
You could keep your name and change your surname. If you could find a way to shorten your last name to make it sound more serious, that would probably be an ideal situation.
If you want suggestions of new pen names, here are some combos you could think about (or totally ignore, I’m just thinking out loud
) :
[name_u]Addison[/name_u] [name_m]Travers[/name_m]
[name_f]Alba[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Thompson[/name_m]
[name_f]Avril[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Todd[/name_m]
[name_f]Amanda[/name_f] [name_m]Thorne[/name_m]
[name_f]Ava[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Tanner[/name_m]
[name_u]Andrea[/name_u] [name_f]Tyne[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrina[/name_f] [name_m]Thompson[/name_m]
[name_f]Alana[/name_f] [name_m]Todd[/name_m]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Taggart[/name_m]
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this is helpful! Good luck
