I don't think you need to, I was just suggesting that if you wanted to change it, there was another name that is close, but not the same.

Okay

Well, I certainly appreciate the response.  People've brought up a lot of points for me to think about.

Seeing as "F" is supposed to be a good letter for placement, I'm leaning heaviest towards Michael Forest for that reason.

Karen says Ursula K. LeGuin is a scary name!!!

Umm... yeah...



It's kind of embarrassing to admit, but I always thought so too. I associate it with that octopus lady Ursula in the Little Mermaid. And LeGuin sounds like a pile of dead bones in a swamp. Dunno why.

I think Ursula K LeGuin is an awesome name, actually.

Myself, I lean towards "Michael Forester". I like surnames longer than first names, for some reason. And it has the F, and is easy to pronounce, and unconfusable. If you wanted to use initials for any reason, what about M.M. Forester? It uses all of your real initials, just moves them around a little.

I've actually been called Michael Forester before, strangely enough.

[also, it sounds a little like C.S. Forrester, which would be brilliant. AND there is a movie called Finding Forrester, about an author. So there } ::)

So, do people prefer Michael Forester or M. M. Forester?  M. M. Forest?

I guess I want a consensus, and it looks like I'm not going to get one.  Oh well.

Michael

but before you take anyone's advice, even a consensus, I must quote Obi-wan to you.
