It seems to me that advice columnist Dan Savage gave a similar answer when Stephen Colbert asked what his porn name would be.
So then (if you don't mind my asking), that is your actual name? I must admit I've wondered, since you mentioned having a pen name for writing children's books, whether Angelia Sparrow was _also_ a nom de plume, since most writers aren't so fortunate as to start out with such an evocative name.
I didn't start with Angelia Sparrow. But I married into it around 1989. It is my legal name, much to the frustration of convention staff and the delight of AC Crispin.
