Should I publish under my name or a pen name?

Question: Should I publish under my name or a pen name!?

I'm so confusd on what I want to do!.
My name is pretty ordinary, so I'd love a name that people would remeber for it's uniqueness, but then it's kind of an honor to see YOUR name in print!.

What would you do!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you are going to write lots of books, and want people to remember you, use a pen name!. If you are just going to write a couple, than use your real name, so you would have honor on having your name on a published book, but it is your choice!. Personally, when I read a book, I will only remember the author if he/she wrote a great story, if not, then I do not even bother on remembering the author's name , no mater how unique it is!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would personally keep my real name; I guess it's pretty original!. Not my first name, but last name!. I'm pretty sure it would be something people would remember!. And you're right; it's an honor to see your own name in print!. But it depends!. If you want uniqueness, the pen name would be cool!. But, if you want to have your name on the shelves, stick with your own name!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I used a pen name!. I am not as famous as other writers but I don't want a wako come after my family because he disagree with my characters!. Beside it will be very hard to relax at home if everyone had your number!.!.!. your phone will ring all day and night!. Another things is that some names are not good to remember and you want your readers to remember yours easy!.

I would use my own name!. I don't see the point of a pen name in most cases, since it isn't the name of the author that will sell a first book!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would use my Real Name if i am writing a series then if i was just going to write books not related then i would use a pen name!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
