Pseudonym Instead Of Same Name

Today I wanted to get something finished but couldn't because of the sharing of the same name. Would a pseudonym be the solution ? Or using both ?

What could you not finish because of your name? I am not understanding I am afraid

As I'm the only one with the name Margit Wimmer on FAA it is not a problem but maybe could be with google search.
I need a name for a zazzle shop, wanted to have my name but was not possible. When I typed in my name in google (also looked at images) there are a few people called Margit Wimmer, saw two others who are also artists, one of those represented in a gallery... So - I was thinking about a pseudonym, however, there might be cons.., using real name and pseudonym in text maybe, but still afraid it would be more confusing and would not be so good with google search for me then..

There is no photo of me there, but my images of the paintings (starting with the old shoe) are

 

How about using a middle initial? Or using your name and always appending it with "Margit Wimmer Abstract Artist"? Unless/until you are famous, I imagine keyword searches to find your art will be "abstract art" or "acrylic" or "mixed media" but not "Margit Wimmer". Names become important once you have a following, and by then, they will know how to follow you :-)

Thank you, Carlin, very good idea. Unfortunately I don't have a second christian name. I will try out your suggestion adding abstract artist as a name for the zazzle shop.

Just adding the word Artist at the end can help. It is hard work changing your name because you must change it to be the same everywhere

I was silly in that I use two of my new names differently

Isabella is for people who do not know me or for my own business (1stAngel)
Abbie is for friends and art

I keep forgetting and confuse the bejabbers out of people b signing the wrong name on the wrong thing

Find a name. Stick to it

I'll try to add Artist or Abstract Artist to my name, was also thinking of fineart.

Thank you for your suggestions, so far I couldn't find a suitable name for my zazzle shop. Because of the different persons with the name of Margit Wimmer (artists) I would like to have one with google results not interrupted by another headline belonging to another person of that name. And I do want my auction selling showing up without interruption... Would very much appreciate your ideas.
