Help[Opinions] Re: Pen name
in reply to a message by RoxStar
Thank you for the reply.
It's perfectly reasonable to say that they are wordy, but that's partly the point. They include having two middles just because that's something I'm quite fond of in names (a feature shared by some the greatest authors). It also opens the door to more meaning possibilities.
On regards on not caring about the meaning of the name; that's because you're not meant to. This is once again another thing I done because of personal tastes and need for personalization. I simply chose German because I wanted to honor my ancestry.
And the reason I am making a pen name isn't to keep my identity a secret, but because my real name is somewhat common, uninspired, and rather ugly, and I feel the need to add, I don't think it fits me well.
Overall, the reason for these names is sentimental.
This is in no way abating your criticisms, but I wanted to say why I chose what I chose.
