Help with my Stage Name!?

Question

My first name is Jennifer. I usually go by Jenn because I feel like I don't look like a Jennifer, and my middle name is Rose, and I don't look like a Rose either. I guess I'd probably stick with Jennifer or Jenn but I need help with a good last name.

My real last name is hard to pronounce. I'd like something that's easy to pronounce, and is memorable. Also, I'm Italian and I don't know if I should use an Italian last name or not so as to not be type-casted in those sort of roles...thanks!

Answer 1

Use the name of the street you grew up on.

Answer 2

I think Jennifer Marino or Jennifer de Luca! Although I really like Jenn, it is more of a personal name and Jennifer is more of a professional name, so I would go with Jennifer!

Answer 3

Jenna Rose

I heard it as a name of a character in a movie once.

Answer 4

Don't go too far with the first name.  I named my daughter Genevieve because I love the name (italian too, I admit, her great-grandmother was Genoveffa, which is a German variant - I don't know where that came from).  Several hollywood links: a 1953 movie (a 1904 car named Genevieve in a cross country european race) as well as couple of other actresses (Bujold, Ward [Dame Genevieve Ward, American born but the Brits loved her].  Pick a last name of indeterminate mediterranean origin and when anyone asks, tell them you're from Malta, or Ibiza, or some other exotic island.
