Five things meme, and talking Pseudonyms

[valarltd]

You post a topic, list, category, whatever, in my comments section. (examples: "Five Phrases Batman Will Never Say", or "Five Jobs House Wishes He Had" or "Five Things Dean Will Never, Ever Tell Sam"). Then, in a separate post, I'll post the answers to your Top 5 ideas, according to me. Serious or fun!

Pseudonyms

Love 'em?
Hate 'em?

Would you be more likely to buy a book by "Angel" or by "Cynthia Sparks or by "M.A. Raleigh?"

Cynthia Wishom? Cynthia Sparks?
Either of those appeal? What notions do they bring up?

I'm debating wether to use Angel Sparrow or a different pseudonym for my pirate novel.
(Thinking Sparrow might be pushing it, y'know?)

I have terrible radar for pseudonyms. Unless it's "Dick Hardsteel" or something, I generally entirely fail to notice. I might twig that "Angel Sparrow" was one, though. ;)

The ironic part?
That's my real name.

Like I said...I'm horrible at names--pseudo and non. ;)

I woke up this morning and realized that could have sounded horribly insulting. I'm sorry; I was laughing at the irony, not at your name.

Oh I understood. i went to bed laughing at the irony myself.
