As some of you are aware, I hope to publish under a pen name. After discarding several options (mainly names that already had significant Google presence for other things) I settled on Rebecca Gabriel. Those are family names, it's not too far back in the alphabet, and I dunno...it just sounds like a "romance author" kind of name. I've gotten kind of attached to it.
Now there's a question of if I'll be able to use it. I just stumbled across an author that writes - guess what? - Scottish historicals. Her name? Sarah Gabriel. And her newest release's heroine's name? Elspeth, of all things.
*headdesk*
(To be fair, she writes straight historicals that are medieval-set, and other than the name Elspeth her book has nothing in common with mine beyond Scotland. And she's got degrees in medieval history, so I might give her books a try on that factor alone. I've gotten rather sick of non-historical historicals...)
