Pick my pen-name

[Bossy Monkey]

I've never made any particular effort to hide my real name; it's John M. Dantzler. Assuming I ever write anything worth publishing (an open question if I don't quit posting goofy polls on DU at all hours of the day and night), I'm not sure if I want this to be my brand name. Also it's the Lounge, I feel goofy, and maybe we can have some fun with this. Post suggestions (anyway ones that aren't obscene nor TOO insulting) and I'll stick 'em on the poll.

Edit: For redfaced admission that I can't spell Ford Madox Ford.:)

1. What do you write?

Your preferred genre might have influence over my suggestions.

If I ever get published, I'm thinking of using my maiden name. I hope that won't offend my husband. Of course, he'd probably just be thrilled I was published, regardless of name.

5. Stuff that's supposed to be funny

If I ever get my shit together, political stuff that's supposed to be funny.

2. I picked "the artist formerly known as...."

That strikes me as classy and includes your real name. I don't know; what do you think?

it worked for both Clemens and whoever-Shania-was before she became a Twain.
