There is a difference between using a made-up name and using real people as pseudonyms. People are not costumes you can wear. They are flesh and blood.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A name, of course is like a piece of clothing, isn't it? It gives you an impression right away.
I make up names for people all the time - it's part of writing. Very often, the name comes with the character, along with of a sense of who they are and what they do.
In real life, there are names that surprise us because they don't seem to suit the person at all.
The important thing is to make something. In reality, it's not important that a designer be known by name - you can remain anonymous. Even the status of a designer will undergo changes, I believe.
And I can't think of a reason I'd ever use a pseudonym, as I wouldn't want to publish something that I didn't like enough to put my name on it.
You've got to leave the reader with more than just a name and a costume - they need to know who the character is, what they're like, what kind of attitude they have, what sort of role they play.
Sometimes a nickname is used instead of the real name. But a nickname may offend either the one named or the parents who gave the name.
It's funny - if you impersonate somebody, they have no idea it's them.
Costumes are the first impression that you have of the character before they open their mouth-it really does establish who they are.
In general, costumes are the first thing in life that let other people know who we are. They indicate who the person is without saying anything.
