I think SiriPaulson would also work fine without the underline. Most people would understand it’s your first & last names.

Thanks for the advice! My Twitter account comes up near the top of a Google search, so I’m doing fine there (thanks to taking your advice on using my name when I created my account!).

I don’t yet have a blog or solo web site (I know, I know…), but the multi-writer site I’m part of doesn’t show up when I search my name, even though my name is all over it. That’s not good — need to figure out what’s going on there.

I think you are fine. I have a TX after my name. If you build your brand like I teach then you will be easy to find on a google search. Just make sure your web site and FB pages have where to follow you on Twitter.

I have an underscore in my Twitter account, because my name is unusual and I thought it would help people remember it if they saw first and last separated (Siri_Paulson). What do you guys think, should I change it?

Now that I’ve become accustomed to using it and made so many great new friends through Twitter and my blog I’m exceedingly glad that I took Kristens advice on this.

Oh and: We may each be one, but We Are Never Alone 🙂

I’m 99.99% sure I’m the only Marilag Lubag in the world (unless one of my cousins who share my last name marry another Marilag). I used to ask my parents what they’re thinking for naming me my name. Now I’m glad they did, because that way, I don’t have to share my name with them.

I think you worry too much and a name is only half the brand. Yes, your sis-in-law writes smut, but her content defines HER band, not yours. People won’t get confused. Give us a little credit. Don’t worry about the name being common. Is Sandra Brown THAT glamorous? Your content will define you. And no…one name. Having to have a new name for every genre is old paradigm. Ten years ago people didn’t communicate daily with their fave writers via Twitter and Facebook. Things are changing.

You remind me of the kid who is terrified of the diving board, but when you finally get her to jump….there is no prying her away, LOL. It has been so wonderful to watch you grow and gain confidence.
