Fake Names

About

A pseudonym is a fictitious name that a person assumes for a particular purpose, which differs from their original or true name. This concept comes from Ancient Greek, where the term literally means "falsely named." A pseudonym differs from a new name that entirely or legally replaces an individual's own. Many people who use pseudonyms do so because they wish to remain anonymous and maintain privacy, though this goal may be difficult to achieve as a result of legal issues.
