How did you come up with your username? Why use a pen name, not your own? Want to share?

oh the names
I have a few names so far.

Well, Elfmage7 was my first chat name back when I used to go to chat on msn web site when I was a teenager. It has been my username for many sites including NaNoWriMo and Sparkpeople.

Dawn Embers if the pen name I have created for some of my novels that I hope to get published some day. My actual name is fairly common so I thought I would come up with something that had a little more interest. Dawn is my middle name and I came up with the Embers part and liked the sound of it. I have been using Dawn Embers for almost the whole time I've been on WDC, so getting close to 7 years now. I have been building up the brand in order to help once I actually do get published. *Smile*

I have another that I'm going to use for romance erotica novels but it uses my real last name so I won't post it yet online. I want a gender neutral name for those because I write m/m and some think a female can't write that as well, though fans of my writing so far have been males for those stories. But having a gender neutral one might be a good marketing choice for those novels anyways.
