Nowadays I believe your market is more likely to be hard-bitten types with green eyeshades and a fag stuck permanently to their lower lip. Or is my image of newspaper editors out-of-date?
Well done with your first front page.

And I vote for Tanja, too. It's spelling, if not it's sound, rhymes with ganja, too, which takes me back to pleasant if fuzzy memories of Jamaica.

Actually, now that I think about it, it kind of raises a question - do you all think I would be better off using it for business purposes? ie. Tanja Mayer Photography. I am just wondering if the benefit of it being so memorable as a spelling would outweigh the diffulties people might have actually spelling it. Or do you think that it is better to have something that is easier to spell and thus easier for prospective clients to "look me up" on the internet/phone book etc.?
Well, "Mayer" might give people who may want to spell it "mayor"
difficulty as well, so I wouldn't worry too much about that. Make sure
that your webpage's meta tags list all the possible spellings of your name
that you can think up, and it shouldn't be a huge issue. As for the phone
book, given that you're in a relatively small market, I can't see there
being *that* many photographers between TANJ and TANY... you should be
okay there. :)
It really comes down to personal preference. Myself, I'd keep it "Tanja."
It's different, stands out a bit without being over cutesy, and it's your
name. Let the rest of the world learn to pronounce it properly. F***
'em... why should you have to change it?
I originally wanted my business to be "Fotos by Fairy"
In North America, at least, "fairy" is also an offensive term for a gay male. I'd stick with your name, as it doesn't limit you in any way.
