Pen name??

Writers' Corner
1

I am starting a blog! I will be writing two thousand word installments of a story. (basically like a tv show except writing) I don’t really want to use my real name, so i’m going to need a pen name
My real name is (no). I have an imaginary world in which my name is [name_u]Lexi[/name_u] [name_m]Romano[/name_m], which I like.
It would have to be cool sounding. The some of the characters in the story are Chris, Nate (g), Darren, Clarissa, Mr. Bond, Abriella, and the mc’s surname is Marvell. Also, i am currently trying to write a book (yes, on top of writing a blog). I might use a pen name if this book ever gets published. some of the characters are [name_u]Alex[/name_u], [name_m]Tomas[/name_m], [name_f]Maria[/name_f], [name_m]Ty[/name_m], Edge (surname), and the mc’s surname is [name_m]Oakes[/name_m]. so nothing super close to any of those (which voids [name_u]Lexi[/name_u] but I’d make an exception for that).
About me: I love reading as much as life itself. I write fiction. I am a GRAMMAR [name_f]QUEEN[/name_f] and I like to think I’m smart (well I am top of my class [I’m homeschooled]). My favorite names are all boy names which makes it hard to come up with girl names I like, although I wouldn’t mind if the pen name was a boy’s or unisex name. I’m a [name_m]Christian[/name_m] and my favorite music is Tobymac-type music (look him up, you won’t regret it).
Check out my signature for my top three of each gender. I also like: [name_u]Chase[/name_u] (boy), [name_m]Trey[/name_m] (boy), [name_f]Kiera[/name_f] (girl), [name_u]Skye[/name_u] (girl), and [name_f]Starr[/name_f] (girl).
Thanks for suggestions!

Despite the fact that one of your characters name is [name_u]Alex[/name_u], I think [name_u]Lexi[/name_u] [name_m]Romano[/name_m] could work. It’s a name that you’re already comfortable with and (at least occasionally) identify as.

I like the idea of using [name_m]Anderson[/name_m] as a surname, based on your middle name, but that’s just a thought. Otherwise, I’m drawing a huge blank for names :/.

Using the Namehunter (because I don’t want to leave you without suggestions), these are some options of first names that I think you might like:
[name_u]Rain[/name_u]
[name_u]Rylie[/name_u]
[name_f]Ashlee[/name_f] / [name_f]Ashlyn[/name_f]
[name_u]Cassidy[/name_u]
[name_f]Angela[/name_f]
[name_f]Kaylin[/name_f]
[name_f]Roxanne[/name_f]

[name_m]How[/name_m] did you come up with [name_u]Lexi[/name_u] [name_m]Romano[/name_m]? Is there anyone you would name yourself after? (ex: [name_m]Robert[/name_m] Galbraith comes from [name_m]Robert[/name_m] [name_u]Kennedy[/name_u] and the surname of a childhood name J.K Rowling gave herself).

My friend has a cat named [name_u]Lexi[/name_u] and as soon as I heard the name I loved it, and [name_m]Romano[/name_m] just sounded good.
I do like [name_m]Anderson[/name_m] as a surname.
Also thanks for the suggestion of using the Namehunter lol

I’d say to just go with [name_u]Lexi[/name_u] [name_m]Romano[/name_m] since you already seem quite comfortable with and fond of it. I wouldn’t say it being so close to [name_u]Alex[/name_u] is a problem.

A pen name I use online is, quite subtly, after a character; do you have any characters (or even idols) that you’d like to have a reference to in your work?

Since both of you said just go with [name_u]Lexi[/name_u] [name_m]Romano[/name_m], that’s what I’m going with! Thanks!
