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.

I can't get past thinking of you in some ways as "Jack," so how about Jack Martin?

I shouldn't grin like this. I really shouldn't.

Beyond the obvious reference TW reference, since you have such an usual female name I think that something simple and straightforward like Jack is very suitable for a male psuedonym. While I don't have any other suggestions off the top of my head I think this is the direction you might want to explore.

(I think the random generated ones are missing an e, but mine's the real deal. I also like imagining the ne'er-do-well offspring of a steely-eyed cattle heiress and a filthy rich parfumeur.)

Hee.

I'd been thinking of Jack Tuckahoe as somewhat film noir, but then I'm somewhat biased by the fact it shares origins with my username (yes, I am a railgeek).

Failtastic about the dance peeps, but glad you're subverting them. :)

Hmm. Richard Martlet? (A "martlet" is a kind of heraldic bird.)
