Lyra is good. Didn't I hear that in the golden compass? Doesnt matter though. Ditch the Edwards... it's boring. Lyra better have a strong follow up

6/10, but I agree there have been too many Mann's. Thomas Mann. Horace Mann. Michael Mann.

acceptable, even though it sounds vaguely Indian. if you write anything other than poems or novels then I wouldn't bother with a Lyra Kaminari. she sounds like she'd write good poems.

>5/10 Richard K. sounds too close to Phillip K Dick.
I know and I hate him for it. Richard is my middle name and I like G.K. Chesterton.

It's one of the thunderwords, (entirely) coincidentally.
>>
>>7447226
What's the K stand for? In your case I would simplify, there seems to be a tradition of "two initials - surname" but I think this tradition is dated. Relatedly, I think the "name - initial - surname" business is getting tired and flooding the bookstores with pretentious, long-winded authors

>>7447246
The K is just there because I liked GK Chesterton
>>
>>7447257
Finnegans Wake has a big word as onomatopoeia for thunder made up of smaller words for thunder in foreign languages. Kaminari is one of them (Japanese). I tried other words for lightning but that sounded best. It means both thunder and lightning in Japanese iirc.

It doesn't have the charm of a Humbert Humbert. I think Adrian may be too common a name for this. I mean, since you're gonna repeat the name, it's gotta be charming, because otherwise hearing it twice will just make a reader groan.

Some people don't want to be famous.

I'm not posting my pen name ITT because its so good, someone will steal it for sure.
>>
>>7448597
>stealing a pen name
They probably wouldn't get famous anyway. Post it
>>
What did you guys think of to get to your pen name ?
>>
>>7448397
My real name isn't very charismatic, plus, I word-associate and when I hear my own name, I always think of how embarrassing, weak and pathetic I have been throughout life. I don't want my work to be associated with this person.
