While She Knits - Randomly Pondering

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

Have you ever considered how many authors use three names?

No, really.  Have you?  Some of my favorites do.  Megan Whalen Turner.  Diana Wynne Jones.  Arthur Conan Doyle.

Who all can you think of?  Extra points if you've read their stuff.

Nope. That's not a name, that's a title.

My goodness! You have disqualified half of my entries! Here's some old guys to make up for it:

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Henry David Thoreau

I took a U.S. History 1 test a few weeks ago and they were obsessed with these two!
Ooh, and Harriet Beecher Stowe.
Seems like it used to be more popular to use 3 names than it is now.
