Pen name?

Writers' Corner

Hi berries!

I’ve recently started the process of publishing poetry and it was recommended that I use a pen name. My first name is Catherine and my last name is 3 syllables, Italian, begins with an M and ends with an O. My middle name is Lyn and I’ve played around with the name Lane/Layne as well, but I’d love to hear some suggestions! I’d like to incorporate some form of my first name (Cate, Catie, Cat) if possible. I also sometimes use Quillen/Quinn/Q as a pseudonym, so I wouldn’t mind using that in some way either.

Thanks in advance! I really appreciate your help :blush:

If you’re Italian, you could be [name_f]Caterina[/name_f] something (Caterina is the Italian version of Catherine). [name_f]Caterina[/name_f] [name_u]Lane[/name_u] would be wonderful!
