What is another word for fictitious names?
Pronunciation: [fɪktˈɪʃəs nˈe͡ɪmz] (IPA) 
Fictitious names are also referred to as pseudonyms or pen names. Pseudonyms are commonly used by authors, actors, musicians, and other creative professionals to conceal their true identity or to assume a new persona. They are often used to protect privacy, avoid personal attacks, or create a brand identity. Pen names are similar to pseudonyms, but they are specifically used by authors or writers to publish their work anonymously or under a different name than their legal one. Some other synonyms for fictitious names include aliases, noms de plume, stage names, and monikers. These terms all refer to names that are not the author's or individual's legal name but are used instead.
