Question

pseudonym Hundreds of Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, and Bobbsey Twins novels were churned out under such pseudonyms as Franklin W. Dixon, Carolyn Keene, and Laura Lee Hope. ˈsudəˌnɪm

Accepted Answer

A name that someone (such as a writer) uses instead of his or her real name. The Greek pseudo- is used in English to mean “false,” or sometimes “resembling.” A pseudonym is thus a false name, or alias. A writer's pseudonym is called a pen name, as in the case of Howard O'Brien (who usually writes as “Anne Rice” but sometimes under other names), and an actor's pseudonym is called a stage name, as in the case of Marion Morrison (“John Wayne”). A cadre name may be used for the sake of secrecy by a revolutionary plotter such as Vladimir Ulyanov (“Lenin”) or Iosif Dzhugashvili (“Stalin”). And in many religious orders, members adopt devotional names, as Agnes Bojaxhiu did in 1931 (“Teresa,” later known as “Mother Teresa”)
