It’s easy to choose a name, but it’s difficult to choose a good name. We all say, "A person is like his name, and his words are like his person."
It is impossible to keep changing a name throughout your life. If you keep changing it, what is your name? Whose surname is it? Therefore, choosing a good name is particularly important, which makes my parents think deeply and read articles and ask people day and night.

That is the responsibility of their parents. It’s a big deal to give your children meaningful names. What I want to talk about here is, how to choose a good pen name?
The reason why most authors use pseudonyms is that they may not want people to know their real names and affect their real lives. Adopt a pseudonym to virtualize yourself to a certain extent to avoid unnecessary disputes. Nowadays, most Internet writers write under pseudonyms, also called vests. Some authors even have many pseudonyms and hang out on different websites. This is because pen names are bought out on most websites now. If you want to go to another When writing articles for a website, you cannot use the pen name of the current website. This is also for copyright issues and to avoid unnecessary trouble.
How to choose a pen name?

I'm not discriminating against people with English names, it's just that others can't remember them. However, you can also choose simple and easy English names, such as love, dear, kiss, surprise, cat, and God.

I think these writers got pen names well!
First place: Dancing Enchantress.
Some people should be familiar with this pen name. The most popular movie "Wolf Warrior 2" in the summer of 2018 was adapted from his novel "Bullet Marks". It is reported that Fenwu The real name of Enchantress is Dong Qun, and she is a famous military novelist in China. His works include "The Pirate King of the Fifth Unit", "Survival Rules", "Spikes", "Bullet Marks", "The Fifth Unit", "Special Type: We Were Special Forces" and other super best-selling books. The total click rate of his personal works on the Qidian Chinese website exceeded 30 million, and the film and television work: "Wolf Warrior II" had a total box office of more than 5 billion.
As for why he chose a feminine name, Dong Qun was dumbfounded. He responded on Weibo: He wanted to use the most feminine pen name and write the most masculine story, but at that time , I was really full of irony, and I planned to just play and leave, but in the end, hey, a rogue talent like me turned out to be an online writer.
Second place: Mo Yan.
Mo Yan, formerly known as Guan Moye, is China’s only Nobel Prize winner for literature so far. For those of us who write articles, this person is very familiar. !
According to Mo Yan’s own interpretation:
“I developed a habit of talking when I was herding cattle when I was a child. It brought a lot of trouble. My mother painfully advised me: "Son, can you not speak? "I was so moved by my mother's expression that my nose and eyes were sore, and I vowed never to speak again, but as soon as I got in front of others, the words rushed out of my stomach like a nest of mice. After I said it, I regretted it extremely, and felt that I had let down my mother. Teaching. So when I started my career as a writer, I gave myself a pen name: Mo Yan. "(The source of this paragraph is actually very tricky, and you have to start with the society and time at that time)
Actually, I think there is another meaning. When a wealthy American lady read Mr. Qian Zhongshu’s works, she wrote a letter saying that she wanted to come to China to find him. He wrote back and said: "You eat To get a delicious egg, do you still have to find the hen that laid the egg? "In fact, it means doing things with a high profile, being a low-key person, talking less and doing more, saying nothing, being indifferent and clear-minded, and being quiet and far-reaching.
Third place: Murphy, also known as Mo Fei.
This name appears in "Zombieland", an American series of suspense thrillers directed by John Hyams. The protagonist of the play, Murphy, mainly tells the story of three years after the zombie virus has invaded the United States. A team of mortal heroes must escort Murphy, who was infected but survived, to the only virus laboratory in California that can function normally. The antibodies carried by this survivor are the last hope for human survival, but Murphy hides a dark secret that can destroy everything.
This pen name can be said to be a turning point in television, which is thrilling and touching.
There are so many good pen names in the world, I just picked a few at random. As the saying goes: "To count the famous people, it depends on the present!"
In The pen names I have used over the years are as follows:
My first pen name was not to be straightforward, but to look far away from the wind.
Forbidden Wind Looking Away, this pen name came from when I was visiting Yuelu Mountain in Changsha. There was a stone tablet there with two calligraphy characters written on it. I thought the word "Forbidden Wind" was written, ( Actually no, I didn’t recognize those two words until the second time I went there.) Then standing at that place, I could see the entire prosperous city of Changsha. I also thought of the emperors who had experienced ups and downs looking at it from a distance, which meant that they were ambitious but had limited abilities.
The second pen name: Mo Ran.
The me that is often used in novel characters is subtly inspired by Mo Yan and Murphy. Because I am still a junior in college and will soon enter the society, I tell myself: The society is complicated. Stay aloof from the world. Don’t forget your original intention, the alarm bell keeps ringing.
The third pen name: Su Wo Zhi Yan.
This is my third pen name, and it is also my favorite and most satisfying pen name, because I often think about the idiom "with all due respect" and want to choose a pen name like "Fan". A pen name that is as feminine as the Dancing Enchantress. One day I was watching Douyin again, and I was inspired to think of the word "without makeup", so I directly extended "with all due respect" to "without makeup", which gave people an uncomfortable feeling. It has a dull and lively feeling, giving people a feeling of association and remembering it at a glance, giving people a feeling of interesting soul and good-looking skin.
Choosing a good pen name will definitely affect your future development. Choosing a good pen name will already have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort on your article. Choosing a good pen name will subtly inspire you by thinking about the meaning of the name when writing. Choose a good pen name, and readers will seem to be able to gradually get to know you as a person from the words and pen name.
