I chose [name_f]Mitra[/name_f] [name_m]Marshall[/name_m] because it is an appealing name without being too fantasy like [name_f]Eowyn[/name_f] or too generic like [name_m]Robert[/name_m] [name_m]Macdonald[/name_m]. I just don’t like the name [name_u]Carrol[/name_u].

These are my quick associations:
[name_u]Carrol[/name_u] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] sounds like a romance writer, while [name_m]Robert[/name_m] [name_m]MacDonald[/name_m] almost certainly writes mystery or genre fiction. [name_f]Eowyn[/name_f] di’ Mettina probably writes in some incredibly niche genre, like Irish historical literary fiction, and [name_f]Mitra[/name_f] [name_m]Marshall[/name_m] could be writing chick lit or high fantasy or anything in between.

Anyways, I’d probably go with Mitra Marshall or Eowyn di’ Mettina, but again, I’d only use Eowyn di’ Mettina if I was writing something SUPER niche.
