Is Acadia LaCroix a good pen name for an author!? Or a good name for an actor, artist, or a poet!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
It sounds too fabricated and phony to me!.

For author purposes, it's good to have a surname that starts with the letter a, b, or c--you'll get shelved higher, in the line of sight of potential book buyers!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Why use a pen name!? Does your name sound remarkably similar to a known author!? Is it impossible to pronounce!? Are you a famous person trying to conceal her identity!? Are you in the FBI witness protection program!?

Authors don't choose pen names without a reason!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like the name!. It's very unique for an author!. I also like it for an artist or a poet!. It's a decent name for an actor, depending on how its pronounced though!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
