I used to think about pseudonyms when I dreamed of becoming a famous writer. I wrote notes to my best friend in high school under the name Melanie (from "Gone with the Wind") and several other nicknames. Roby and I talked about Spencer and Emily Eden as alternative identities.
When all is said and done, though, I would not change my name right now - even for a day. There are many things I might want to change about myself, but I am Jean. That is who I am and how I identify. I would not change that part of myself for the world.
