Many actors/writers,personalities etc....use made up names simply because
their real names are not 'catchy'.
Archibald Leach = Cary Grant
Marion Morrison = John Wayne
It's easier for the public to remember the made up ones than the real ones.
Also, there is the privacy issue. If & when you become famous you'll wish you
had used a false name.
Enough said..........Mr.. Administrator, PLEASE put an end to this!
Thanks
