When I was 16, I tried to publish some stuff under the name "V. Dare Montgomery."

I can't tell you my pseudonym, because when I publish, I want it not to be traceable back to me. You know, like the infamous Jane Martin

Umm... Robert Dylan nee Zimmerman?

(Sorry, concert's tonight, don't mind me.)

Okay, then, for the Francophonically-challenged:

né "born" (masculine)
née "borne" (feminine)

Back in high school, I tried to slip "né" into an school newspaper article (one of our teachers had recently changed his name), but it got nixed. Pouting ensued.
