Not strictly a writing question but this touches on some issues that some writers may face, and I thought maybe someone here may be able to help.

I used to be a freelance web designer, moved away from it for a while and I'm wanting to get back into it again, with the addition of writing ( freelance and creative ), graphic design and photography.

The issue I'm facing is how to brand myself ( in a social networking / portfolio sense ) when I do work for both commercial and adult related industries.

After doing a bit of research I found that there are a few different ways to go about it:

    NameSynonym / NameSynonymNSFW
    
    SynonymOne / SynonymTwo
    
    RealName / RealNameNSFW
    
    NameSynonym or RealName / UniqueSynonym

A quick example for an alternative photographer would be:

    Lynne ( Alternative ) Mathews = LynneAlternative / AlternativeKink

I'd prefer not to use my `RealName` at all, but of course the spanner in the works really comes when using something like Facebook, or your emails, where you have to really introduce yourself in more of a professional manner.

Any ideas on a good way to go about giving yourself an identity that you can use for branding and communication purposes.
