I would like someone to help me get a new female pen name.
I like unique names. Jakalya, [name_f]Ryleigh[/name_f], [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u], [name_u]Reece[/name_u]
But I wouldn’t like to use any of the above. I want an easy to remember name that most people will think is beautiful and havent seen much. Same with last names, but not too exotic.
Can anyone help?
[name_f]Jakayla[/name_f]* and i also really like the name Taegan but I think it sounds too boyish unless you guys think otherwise
Maybe a pun like [name_f]Paige[/name_f] [name_m]Turner[/name_m]? That’ll be memorable
Or something quite commonly known but not a common name like [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] or [name_f]Cassiopeia[/name_f] ([name_u]Vega[/name_u] or [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] or something surname)
Ehhh maybe something completely bonkers like umm Hennessey [name_f]Paloma[/name_f]?? Honestly with a theme the crazier the better. What about [name_f]Jaqueline[/name_f] [name_m]Daniels[/name_m]? [name_u]Jackie[/name_u] [name_m]Daniels[/name_m]? [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Daniels[/name_m]? Yeahhhhhhh…
I don’t think Taegan sounds too boyish, as it’s commonly used as a girl name with the [name_u]Teagan[/name_u] spelling (which I would recommend).
I would advise against using a pun as a pen name, especially if you are looking to become a published author. Publishers look at the author, not just the book, as a marketable product, and a pun name would be seen as less serious and authentic (however, as far as pun names go, @kkkirsty’s [name_f]Paige[/name_f] [name_m]Turner[/name_m] is one of the best!)
A few names similar to those you’ve listed:
[name_u]Arden[/name_u]
[name_f]Ardith[/name_f]
[name_u]Aspen[/name_u]
[name_f]Ayla[/name_f]
[name_u]Calypso[/name_u]
[name_f]Caoimhe[/name_f]
[name_f]Cassandra[/name_f]
[name_f]Eira[/name_f]
[name_f]Endellion[/name_f]
[name_u]Felice[/name_u]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u]
[name_f]Hailey[/name_f]
[name_f]Idony[/name_f]
[name_f]Islay[/name_f]
[name_f]Jayla[/name_f]
[name_f]Kailani[/name_f]
[name_f]Kayla[/name_f]
[name_f]Kyla[/name_f]
[name_f]Layla[/name_f]
[name_f]Leilani[/name_f]
[name_f]Liesl[/name_f]
[name_f]Makayla[/name_f]
[name_f]Michaela[/name_f]
[name_f]Olive[/name_f]
[name_f]Reeva[/name_f]
[name_u]Remy[/name_u]
[name_u]Rio[/name_u]
[name_u]River[/name_u]
[name_f]Romilly[/name_f]
Saela
[name_u]Saylor[/name_u]
[name_f]Selah[/name_f]
[name_f]Siddalee[/name_f]
[name_f]Sidonie[/name_f]
From your list, I think [name_f]Jakayla[/name_f] fits your criteria best.
[name_f]Ryleigh[/name_f] isn’t unique, the [name_u]Riley[/name_u] spelling is even in the top 30, and neither is [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u].
I’d think of [name_u]Reece[/name_u] as a male name first, so I’d say it’s out since you asked specifically for a female pen name.
I like the idea of [name_u]Teagan[/name_u]. Maybe even better than [name_f]Jakayla[/name_f].
