Pseudonyms!! Finally free of writer’s block!!

So, I was having writer’s block. Then I decided to brainstorm on Notepad and I actually got some good ideas. (Wait… I’m now adding Notepad. And Microsoft Word. And the word AND. And Waiting in lines. And the word WAIT. And endless lines.)

Well, the result is: now I have MANY ideas. I mean MANY ideas. 158!!! And I guess it’s over that, too, because I might have missed some when I counted them. So, in the next few paragraphs, I might talk a little bit about some selected subjects. I’m gonna delete the most general ones (e.g., Cats, Books) or the ones I don’t really have much to talk about or don’t feel like talking about right now (e.g., MSN, Having a headache) or the ones which might be too personal (not including examples here! Ha, ha, ha). Then, finally, I’m gonna have to make a small, careful selection until I have a single subject left.

So many stuff...

And it is…

Pseudonyms

Many names

Wouldn’t it be just fun if you became famous and changed your name? I like my name, but wouldn’t it be so cool if I could change it to, umm, I don’t know, Lily-Violet Wheeze, or Leila Longer? I don’t know, something that sounded good. Better than our real names.

I also did some research and gathered some names of famous people that actually AREN’T their real names:

Woody Allen-Allen Stewart Königsberg
Julie Andrews-Julia Elizabeth Wells
Fred Astaire-Frederick Austerlitz
Lewis Carroll-Charles Lutwidge Dodgson
Coco Chanel-Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel

Audrey Hepburn-Audrey Kathleen Ruston (afterwards Ruston-Hepburn)

Rudyard Kipling-Joseph Rudyard Kipling
Freddie Mercury-Farrokh Bulsara
Carmen Miranda-Maria do Carmo Miranda Da Cunha
Marilyn Monroe-Norma Jean Mortenson (afterwards Baker)
Demi Moore-Demetria Gene Guynes
