Noms de plume

Hiraoka Kimitake is known to the world as "Yukio Mishima".

Theodore Seuss Geisel wrote his best known works as "Dr. Seuss".

Marguerite de Crayencour reshuffled her surname to "Yourcenar" for her fiction.

Tell me, what would your literary pseudonym be?

Okay, then, for the Francophonically-challenged:
"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.
