Help[Opinions] Avon Calling!
in reply to a message by Belphoebe
When I was growing up, Avon was a brand of cosmetics and cheap jewelry that used to be sold door-to-door: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66IWgU9AAis
I think they might still exist?
It has a quaint retro brand-name quality to it, like Spam or Tang or Betty Crocker. I like it but I'm not sure how it'd look as a pseudonym unless you really want it to be evocative of a certain "type". Which is totally ok of course, just something to be aware of.

Still is in the UK
I have three or four FB acquaintances who still sell Avon products. They're always trying to recruit more "Avon ladies"

Now that you mention it.. I forgot all about them! I haven’t heard about the brand in years, so that doesn’t bother me.
I think, paired with a surname, the name will give off a different vibe and you won’t immediately think of the cosmetic brand.
Avon Bradford - journalist?
Avon Lopez - romance novelist?
Avon Carmichael - historian?
(Using some random surnames)

I think Avon has great potential as a romance novelist name. It's got those references to daydreaming housewives AND Shakespeare, which is fantastic. Afon would be good too.
