Pen name help?

[indicinderelly.livejournal.com]

So I strongly dislike my last name. I refuse to let my father's family name take credit for anything I do (or at least, my writing). I've also posted about not being too fond of my first name, it being a boys name (though, after some chats with people here I have become less loathing of it, so thanks :) for that)

I'm usually very interested in the meaning of names for symbolism, foreshadowing, etc. But for a pen name (though I'm still curious of meanings) I'm willing to forget about it for something that fits so well.

I would most likely use a middle name with the pen name, but it's not critical that there be one.

I'd love to hear any suggestions you have for first, middle, and/or last(sur?) names. I'm into classics and creative names.

Here are a few I have tried in the past (I write a By line to feel it out):

Emmalina Embers Eve
Samantha Grace
Annaliese Rhythme (anna-leece-ay)(rhyth-may)
Cassandra Claire Chapman

I don't think those fit me very well, but I love the names. If you can provide a few suggestions I'll play mix-and-match for awhile. Thanks :)

I don't think Casey is masculine. Also, i don't think the HP connection matters if it's serious fiction and not just online stuff.

The only Caseys I've met (spelled that way) are boys, and I see it on here often as a boys name, never as a girls name. So it's very boy-ish to me. Masculine was the wrong word, sorry. But I fully see it as a boys name =/

It's absolutly not online stuff. I can't/won't even post online because of fear of theft, etc, so it's just not associated with the internet at all. But the HP connection would still be an issue because internetz is not the only place people talk about HP and fanfics are becoming increasingly popular so I'll avoid that as best as I can (for someone not into fanfics anymore...)
