SeanfromVanCity · 11-12-2009, 04:53 PM

Need to choose a pen name for launching a product in Fitness Niche

1) Sean Sanderson
2) Sean Balton
3) Sean Denman
4) Sean Stewart
5) Sean Naveed
6) Sean Beverly
7) Sean Stephen

Please pick your top 2 names !

thanks in advance

Ken_Caudill · 11-12-2009, 04:55 PM

Sean Denman
Sean Balton

mrozlat · 11-12-2009, 05:07 PM

1) Sean Sanderson
2) Sean Balton

Mountainmotorman · 11-12-2009, 05:14 PM

Why does it matter should be your question. You are releasing a fitness Ebook. So make it a STRONG name. This Sean Stewart is the ONLY strong name you have.... GOOD LUCK!

wordwizard · 11-12-2009, 05:22 PM

Have you checked who else already has the names?
That may or may not make a difference...

I also like Sean Stewart, by the way. Or how about Sean Sanders?

Mountainmotorman · 11-12-2009, 05:26 PM

That might even work well.... Sean Sanders is also strong. Try it and you are in a good niche. Just lots of views and not that many conversions.... Hope you beat the percentages with yours!

mattlaclear · 11-12-2009, 05:28 PM

Sean Hunter is what I would pick. Or maybe Sean Maxman.

bro what do you mean lots of views and not many conversions?

thanks for your input

Jill Carpenter · 11-12-2009, 05:43 PM

I like #2 from those choices.

Ivancho · 11-12-2009, 05:48 PM

3) Sean Denman
4) Sean Stewart

rapsolo · 11-12-2009, 05:58 PM

What's in a name? Does that affects your success? If the name is not been used already, I do not see any problem in using any.

Rapheal.

Mike Shain · 11-12-2009, 06:00 PM

Fit Finley, Max Manly... oh wait that is not what you asked for.

In the absence of more creative names I cast my vote for Sean Stewart.

Good luck with your product launch!

Michael Oksa · 11-12-2009, 06:18 PM

I agree with Matt.

Your names are fine, but when choosing pen names, I try to convey (at some level) the idea of the niche.

A name with 'max' in it implies 'maximum'.

Armstrong could work, too.

Strength, building, muscles, fit, fitness, health, results, ripped, iron, any words relating to those are what I would go with.

Sean Armstrong
Sean Maxus
Sean Steelman

That kind of thing, and first name could be changed, too.

All the best,
Michael

joshril · 11-12-2009, 06:21 PM

Sean Balton and Sean Stewart

melanied · 11-12-2009, 07:03 PM

I'm with Michael - I like Armstrong.

dorim · 11-12-2009, 07:24 PM

I like # 1 the best!

Alexa Smith · 11-12-2009, 07:35 PM

I think Sean Armstrong is best by a mile, here.

mmpro · 11-12-2009, 07:41 PM

My vote is for Sean Stewart

DogScout · 11-12-2009, 09:37 PM

Sean Connery

Jeff Henshaw · 11-12-2009, 10:53 PM

ArmstrongVanMan would go down a storm in the UK.

I'd buy it myself, but I don't own a van!

Best of luck with your choice.

Jeff Henshaw.

dlm · 11-12-2009, 10:56 PM

Sean Denman sounds sexy

theultimate1 · 11-12-2009, 11:25 PM

Sean Armstrong... Michael Rocks

Forget all those, and pick something that sounds Eastern European.

Like, say, Alexei Svarenko.

People will EAT. THAT. UP.

And come on, a fake name is a fake name. Use something distinctive.

Daniel E Taylor · 11-13-2009, 12:07 AM

Six Pack Sean...

innocent07 · 11-17-2009, 08:38 PM

a new one-

Sean Sausage!

Dan C. Rinnert · 11-17-2009, 10:03 PM

From the original list, I like Sean Sanderson.

The suggestion of Sean Sanders was good too, as well as some of the other "strong" names.

Sean Stewart doesn't work for me either. The first thing that comes to mind is Stuart Smalley. It also sounds too much like John Stewart. Neither one of those suggests strength.

Wealth Plus · 11-18-2009, 12:04 PM

2) Sean Balton

sousen · 11-18-2009, 12:06 PM

This is not bad can try 4) Sean Stewart

Mike Shain · 11-18-2009, 12:07 PM

Hi SeanfromVanCity,

Its been about 6 days now - did you decide on a name?

Alminc · 11-18-2009, 12:21 PM

My vote for Sean Stewart

Excellent idea (and avatar).

You buy my book, yes? Or I break your legs.

Tinkerbell · 11-18-2009, 12:27 PM

How about Maxwell Armstrong?

Rolls health, fitness, and strength together nicely I think.

Yes i have selected Sean Stewart

many thanks from all those who helped

paulie888 · 11-23-2009, 04:36 PM

I like Sean Sanderson and Sean Stewart myself. I don't think it really matters too much as long as you concentrate on writing good content. I know one school of thought talks about using memorable and distinctive names, so you might give that a try. At the end of the day I doubt that it's really going to make a dramatic difference.

Liane Fitzpatrick · 11-25-2009, 01:03 PM

Glad you picked Sean Stewart! The initials S. S.' makea strong statement/impression. If I had posted before you had picked I would have suggested you pick the name that makes you feel the most powerful when you say it!

Liane Fitzpatrick · 11-26-2009, 12:19 PM

I'm still voting for Sean Stewart! Same reasons I bposted earlier!

miset · 11-26-2009, 12:24 PM

It has to be Sean Steward for me, why? I have absolutely no idea, i just like it

fernando avila · 11-26-2009, 01:12 PM

I think Sean Stewart is the best.

Peeps66 · 11-26-2009, 01:20 PM

I prefer Armstrong or perhaps even Steele. How about a double-barrel name such Stewart-Armstrong?

Goatboy · 11-26-2009, 02:03 PM

I have been told that names with a "Ch" or "Jh" sound are generally considered stronger than other names. Chuck Norris, Chuck Conners. So out of the bunch presented, I might consider Chuck Balton.

Intrepreneur · 11-26-2009, 02:04 PM

I'm not gonna pick any but ask a question about putting a face to a pen name while the topic is here. How do I do that?
