"That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Shakespeare knew what he was talking about when he said we might call things by many names. With this in mind, I chose a pen name when I started writing fiction, since my real name was complicated and hard to spell. In fact, being a lover of history, I decided to use the first name of my paternal grandmother.
