Very good poll, Memnoch !
I had used for years now the pseudo 'Modesty', coming from an English comic from the 60s 'Modesty Blaise' (there are Modesty Blaise books too, and an old movie with Minica Vitti, and there are rumors that a new Modesty Blaise movie is in preparation). Modesty Blaise is a very very very good internation spy woman, while staying a woman (she also has sex with men, several men, which was very rare in the 60s).
However, Modesty Blaise is not widely known, and my husband keeps telling me for years that the 'Modesty' pseudo is just ridiculous, so for the first time in more than 10 years, I decided on a whim to change for once !
I have just discovered Robert Jordan's 'Wheel of Time' series (read all the first seven books in four months), so I settled for Moiraine because she is a small quiet woman with brown hair who happens to always get people do what she wants, and also because her name has a remote 'Frenchie' sound.
I am a big fan of Anne Rice too, my favourite is the 'Witches' series (read them in French, don't know the English names).
You males often seem to enjoy using trumpeting pseudos, ! I particularly enjoyed Worm's (and his 'Yes, I crawl, so what ?' signature.
Ladyzekke, where does your pseudo come from ?
