Pseu-Pseu-Pseudonym

Crazy hypothetical: Pseu-pseu-pseudonym *

In many different artistic endeavors (writing, music, acting) an artist will adopt a pseudonym**.  It is usually done to conceal an identity or avoid confusion.  Say you are in a situation that in order to work in your chosen field you are asked to adopt a pseudonym.  Do you think it would be wrong for a Christian to do this?  Is this a form of lying?  Would the reason given to adopt the pseudonym change how you feel?***

*Crazy Hypothetical is a mental game that gives you a conditional choice that gets you thinking about a subject. I used these for several years as discussion starters in Bible class..

** A pseudonym is a name that a person or group assumes for a particular purpose, which differs from his or her original or true name. These include stage names, screen names, pen names, nicknames, aliases

***  For example J.K. Rowling was told by her publisher that her series wouldn't be as popular among boys if it was penned by a woman. She used a set of initials instead (not even her own, since she has no middle name)
