noms de plume

JF Erikson is a pen name combined from JF (Jack Fitzgerald) and Erikson (son of Erik the Red). I chose it because I was named after the first, and I wanted something a little more masculine sounding than my real name. I've always liked the nickname Jack but it does not work at all with my real name. (akin to if I was the brother of Suzanna Hoffs). I don't want to use my real name 1) because I don't like it, 2) I don't want recognition, and 3) another author is already using it.
I have been considering changing it to either Paulus Allman or Paul S. Allman. I'm not sure if either would fit with my genres YA Science Fiction (though I'm considering just going SF). I'd love feedback from anyone on which to choose and their fitness.
