Pseudonyms

I recently picked up Austin Kleon's Steal Like an Artist journal and I loved the section where I was to create ten pseudonyms for myself. Here's what I came up with:

Cherry Riot - Roller Derby Queen
Mrs. Fleshy Fontaine - MI6 spy
Elizabeth Lawson - mid to late 18th century heroine of English Literature
Lisa Star - beloved author
Stella Aster - stage actress and silent film star
Alice "Ace" McKenna - 1930s aviator, stunt pilot, First Wave Feminist
Lucienne "Luci" Étoile - French-American artist
Violet Sangre - mid-1990s drummer in punk band
Mae MacKenzie - owner of a successful Madison Avenue ad agency in early 1960s
Lily Kiernan - feminist, activist, revolutionist, peacemaker, protester
