A pseudonym or pen name may be used by an author of a copyrighted work. Under Section 101 of the 1976 Copyright Act, a pseudonymous work is defined as "a work on the copies or phonorecords of which the author is identified under a fictitious name." Nicknames or other diminutive forms of one’s legal name are not considered "fictitious." As is the case with other names, the pseudonym itself is not protected by copyright.
