Women use gender neutral or male coded pseudonyms or nicknames fairly frequently in geekdom. This is something of a double bind. Women who do not use explicitly female names (or whose names aren't coded as such to English speakers) are often assumed to be male unless the woman explicitly identifies herself as female, at least during trivial interactions and sometimes for an extended period. This contributes to the invisibility of women. Women who do use female coded names frequently encounter online harrassment. See also Pseudonymity in general.
