In need of a pseudonym

Writers' Corner

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] berries!

As I make plans to complete my novel this summer, it has occurred to me that I really need to get going on a pseudonym! I know what characteristics I’d like it to have, but no real ideas as far as actual names. HELP!

First name: I want something that’s strong-sounding but also feminine. Nothing stuffy or trendy.
Last name: I’m looking for a British or American sounding last name that is easy to pronounce, but not really a run of the mill last name ([name_m]Don[/name_m]'t suggest “[name_m]Smith[/name_m]” :slight_smile: ). Something memorable, but not too difficult to spell or pronounce.

THANKS!
