Pen names

From Jeff Vandermeer via the mighty mighty Claire Light, comes this intriguing formula for determining one's pen name:First name = first name of your favorite writerMiddle name = name of your first pet (can shorten to initial only)Last name = favorite fictional characterAll of which makes me...Virginia Laddy LuciferAlthough on some days I might claim to be ...John Laddy HuckleberryAnd if I'm feeling particularly transhuman, you might wish to call me...William Laddy AeneaI sort of wish we hadn't named our dog Laddy.
