Change of Pen Name: Celtic to Tano

So old visitors may be a bit surprised seeing the name Tano now instead of Celtic. Well, it is still the same person. I am changing my pen name. Making a pen name is not easy. There are so many things that define you as a person, but at the same time you want a name that works and sometime you have specifications like how long the name is going to be, maybe the initials will be similar to someone close to you, or you want something close to your real name, but not too close. These things can make it complicated.

The only thing that is changing here is the last name from Celtic to Tano. I am choosing the name Tano because it is the last name of one my favorite characters: Ahsoka Tano. She is a character from the Star Wars The Clone Wars TV series as well as in Star Wars Rebels. The name Tano works better, it falls off the tongue better. Nicholas Cage also did something similar with last name.

Anyways, so now my pen name will officially be Angela Tano. I know what you all are thinking. That I will change it again, but I think there is a slim chance of that. Celtic was name I picked because I am into the Celtic culture and it still bore the initials of my birth given name. It wasn't a bad name, but it just didn't work as well as I liked. Later, I thought about wanting to somehow incorporate Ahsoka into my life. So I thought of it becoming the last name to my pen name.

It is by far the better name and I love it.
