Talk:Pseudonym

The section of pen names was confusing. The best-written part - before I messed around with it - described European lady writers using male names to get published in the 18th or 19th centuries. The worst part was using Mark Twain and Lewis Carroll as examples of things that they didn't really exemplify.

Dodgson wanted to separate his literary life from his real life as a college professor and did not like to be addressed as Lewis Carroll - particularly on fan mail. Clemens was quite the opposite, enjoying his fame as Mark Twain. --Uncle Ed (talk) 12:33, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

Pseudonym and Takhallus both are same. Can it be merged or done something with Pseudonym? If yes then it would be better to connect the Benguli Laguage. Md. Giashuddin Chowdhury (talk) 01:20, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

 Done: Some edits were slightly altered to account for grammatic accuracy, but otherwise there were no major issues with this proposal. — Alex26337 (talk) 15:03, 25 October 2025 (UTC)

In my job, I see a lot of people from other countries, almost all of whom are from Asian countries, who adopt a "western name", to make it easier for people here to address them. Should this be included in this article? Bradley.sigma (talk) 10:25, 13 August 2026 (UTC)
