Ann Star? Anne Starr? I don't know, you want a pen name? Anne Starr is nice... Annie Starr? Of switch it so you are at the beginning of the shelves... Starr Anne. Yeah, Betita is pretty cool. I think, though I am not positive, that it is Portugeuse for Beth... Like little Elizabeth? The Filipines were controlled by the Portuguese for a long time, then Spain. It may be Spanish... Most Filipino names are rooted in either Spanish, Portuguese, Indian...every kingdom that controlled them at one time or another! Ann West? Ann Star? Anne Starr? I don’t know, you want a pen name?

Sabrina, yours is the best! If not a porn star, it sounds like a great Bond Girl name. :) Terri's Velvet Garden is a good one too! And Maureen you have a great real last name to use. No worries there! I just like saying it: Betita. Nothing working for my childhood street. Like Laura's hubby it's a rural route. I could be Ann West Star Route (maybe double hyphenate? LOL) Laura you have some neat tricks! Sabrina, yours is the best! If not a porn star, it sounds like a great Bond Girl name. :)

I like the one where you use the name of your first pet and your street. Then, depending on if I wanted to go with the dog or the cat, I'd either be Ginger Garden or Velvet Garden. Tell me Velvet Garden doesn't sound like a porn name. LOL! Melissa - Don't worry yourself over much. Just something to think about, but minor in the scheme of things. You'll find the right fit, when you need it. Using that middle name/street one, I’d be Lynn Garden. I like the one where you use the name of your first pet and your street.

Try the same to get your pen name. Mine's boring, but my hubby (farm boy) would be Maurice Rural Route 2. Now THAT'S a hot name!
