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.

But would make a great separate post, like how many authors use only their initials (usually two) before their last names. E.B. White, J. K. Rowling, L. M. Boston, etc. (E. Nesbit is one of the few 1-initial ones).

Yes! A lot of my very favorite authors use initials -- C.S. Lewis, L.M. Boston, E.B. White....

But if we can add poets, I've got 2 favorites with 2 names....

William Butler Yeats
Gerard Manley Hopkins
