Names! Pick a name!

[FallingToFly]

Okay... pick which one you like better, eh? This is kinda important.

 

[TheeGoatPig]

Renee. I'm assuming you are coming up with a pen name for publishing?

 

[Selena_Kitt]

Is "Carmicael" the way you want it? I'd like to see it as Carmichael.

 

[angelicminx]

Renee Blaine.

I agree with Selena.


Couldn't figure out how to pronounce the first name on the top one, though I do like the last name.

 

[fieryjen]

Ooh, making up pen names is fun! I like the first one better, but I see I'm in the minority.

Yep, picking a pen name, and you're right about he spelling- I typoed.

 

[MagicaPractica]

Renee Blaine.

I agree with Selena.

I'll second that.

 

[Skip1934a]

Looks like some prefer the last name from the top and first name from the bottom. But I really like 'Bitch from Hell' better than either or any combination thereof.

But I voted for Renee Charmichael. But Renee Blaine rings good, too.

Me too, me too!

Pen name for ftf?

I didn't even think of Niamh as a girl's name when I first saw it. Is it?

Does it matter?

 

[Liar]

Does it matter?

Not for me. Mebbe for the...um...wearer.

is that right, do we "wear" pseudonyms?

Hmm...Yep, I have the Tegan patch right here!

Niamh is pronounced Naah-ve (IIRC). It's Gaelic spelling, so the letters bear no relation to pronunciation if you think in English.

Personally, I like Niamh better, but I'll agree that I'm in a minority who'll know how to pronounce it.

It's nice to see someone else who knows how to pronouce it. In the staes, they usually change it and spell it Neve.

As in Neve Campbell

 

[Antfarmer77]

If those are the only two choices...Renee

 

[Svenskaflicka]

I like Niamh.

 

[Kev H]

IMO, having a pen name that is nearly unpronouncable is not a good marketing tactic. If I had a third option for Renee Blaine, I'd also click that...make a new poll?

Okay, okay, I get the idea.... I will add Renee Blaine to my list of probable names.

Sorry, FTF. It started as a half-joke. I do like the name, though.

I voted for Renee precisely because of pronounciation issues (I'm American). Honestly, I don't love either name, but names are quite subjective. Also, in this case something more unique may be ideal, in which case something more unusual could be beneficial.

I actually like Neve Carmichael, but again, very subjective.
