you kids should have fun with this

Let's say I needed a male pseudonym for some fiction writing purpose. You know, just hypothetically. For now.

What would it be?

While I would prefer it not be overtly ridiculous (although you may have other notions) and actually feel comfortable to me, I know I've just opened a giant can of worms for you all to play with.

OK, more seriously: how about "Dmitri"?

(It was the first non-boring non-silly male name that came to my mind...)

Have you read my fencing posts?

I have, but I wasn't consciously thinking of them. I plead general incompetence at memorizing names.

I think I'll quit while I'm behind and endorse "Martin" below. It's uncommon enough not to be bland and common enough not to be weird, which is what I was shooting for.
