Weird thing I think about sometimes: coming up with a different, better sounding name for my creative endeavors.
boodle boy
I hate that my name is impossible to pronounce, and it doesn't like SOUND GOOD
boodle boy
if that makes sense
boodle boy
LIKE SOMETIMES YOU HEAR SOMEONE'S NAME AND YOURE LIKE...THAT'S A COOL NAME.
boodle boy

boodle boy
That's not my namr
boodle boy
In day to day life I have NO problem with my name I'm just like, ugh do I want to forever deal, in a professional setting with no one knowing how to pronounce my name
plurkishdelight
real name or handle name?
plurkishdelight

plurkishdelight

boodle boy
I think I've felt weirdly unattached to my last name too ever since like...my mom remarried and I'm just. the only person with this last name on this side of my family, which is the side of my family I see
boodle boy
plurkishdelight

plurkishdelight

boodle boy
MY LAST NAME IS JUST DUMB AND IMPOSSIBLE TO PRONOUNCE, THE END
boodle boy
It's something I've though about for a long time in one capacity or another
niangniang
honestly when i picked a pseudonym that really clicked with me it had a weirdly positive impact on my output from that point forward

fermentingbones
in a real sense: sticking with another 'B' name is probably a cute idea

Do you have an author you particularly love whose name you could adapt?
fermentingbones
You could be Sam Shirley
fermentingbones

fermentingbones
you could do Sam Vance?
fermentingbones
it is spiritually close to Benc (esp if you take into account how B becomes V in other languages)
fermentingbones
and it's the last name of the protagonist of your favorite book
fermentingbones
it also has a nice assonance when you say it all together
