You know, it's funny...I've gone through many, many pen names over the past decade. It started off as Black Widow, and then it went to Saravena Moonshadow, and then it went to Elix Ebonwolfe, and now my new one is Ilex Holkit.
Wanna know how I came up with all these crazy names? I'll tell you!
Black Widow was a pen name I picked out when I was....in the fourth and fifth grade? Heheh...I wanted to pick out something creepy (this was back in the infamous days when I drew gore and sold it at recess for 25 cents a sheet). Apparently, I wasn't really as creative as I thought I was. Go figure.
My second one, Saravena Moonshadow, was based off a witch name I made up for myself when I was still into Wicca and witchcraft and all that yummy stuff. I later changed it to Elix Ebonwolfe after doing a little more spiritual research. "Elix" was actually supposed to be spelled "Ilex", which is the Latin name for the holly tree. "Ebonwolfe" was simply a creative word I made up that, quite obviously, means "black wolf". I like wolves, and the color black is one I still cherish. It goes with everything!
My current pen name, Ilex Holkit, is already half-explained. I spelled "Ilex" correctly this time. "Holkit" was actually an endearing nickname my boyfriend made up for me. "Hol-" is for "Holly", and "-kit" is for "kitten". He calls me his kitten. Isn't that adorable? So now you know the origins of all these crazy names. Will I switch again in the future? Only time will tell.
