I like Tengu’s name, so I think I’ll use it:
A. Tad Boring
Mine would probably be. Noom dePlume if I wanted to be obvious, or Den Jomers. If I wanted a real alias, it would be Marik Evans, or Ash Rowan or Ash Thorne.

Fleetwod, that was my idea! “Half Price”.
Anyone remember the Monty Python “Bookshop” routine?
C: I wonder if you might have a copy of ‘Rarnaby Budge’?
P: No, as I say, we’re right out of Edmund Wells!
C: No, not Edmund Wells - Charles Dikkens.
P: (pause - eagerly) Charles Dickens??
C: Yes.
P: (excitedly) You mean ‘Barnaby Rudge’!
C: No, ‘Rarnaby Budge’ by Charles Dikkens. That’s Dikkens with two Ks, the well-known Dutch author.
As far as a *nom de plume[/], I would like a name that connotes authority, yet titillation, and yet has name recognition. Something like
Xaviera de Tocqueville or
Norman Capote.
If I ever get this friggin’ book done, you can bet your sweet ass that my REAL NAME will be on that cover.

I’m all for using my real name. I’ve already got it in enough places that it wouldn’t be hard to track me down anyways. But, since people that don’t know what they want always start at “A”, I’d pick Aaron Aardvark.

P: And perhaps to save time I should add that we don’t have Carnaby Fudge by Darles Chickens, or Farnaby Sludge by Marles Pickens or even Stickwick Stapers by Farles Wickens with four Ms and a silent Q! Why
don’t you try W.H. Smith’s?
C: I did; they sent me here.
P: (grimly) Did they.
Remember, I’m pulling for you; we’re all in this together.

My last name is just about impossible to pronounce on the first reading. Lemme put it this way: there’s a silent J in the middle.
As a result, I’d have to take a different last name, else no one would be able to find the book in a bookstore. Still, I’d like to have something reasonably close to my real name. The name ‘Banacek’ is very close, so that’s probably what I’d go with.
First name? I dunno…probably Jonathan, which isn’t my real first name but would let me keep my first initial.
Put 'em all together, you get Jonathan Banacek.
