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've never heard it as a surname.

Is Tatum really a girls name? I've never heard of 'Onya' either. Looks like "Ima leave it onya' =/

I think even as a surname I still just dislike my n ame lol. Because I like a lot of those first names, but not paired with Casey =/

Well, my dad is stationed at Camp Garrison and right across the street is Camp Casey and all army bases are named after people's surnames. It's an Irish last name complete with crest and all.

I've only known female Tatums. But then I only knew female Casey's up until I got into college, too.
