While in hiding from Khomeini's fatwa, Salman Rushdie was asked to choose/create a pseudonym by the police, and he took the name of "Joseph Anton" -- as in "Joseph" Conrad and "Anton" Chekhov. If you have to make up a pseudonym in reference to great writers -- for whatever reason -- what would it be?

I was tempted to make a reference to Omar Khayyam, but I couldn't think of any great writer called "Simpson"...
Maybe I'll just stick to the very traditional Harry Stophanes.

I would like Rex Nemorensis for the reference to The Golden Bough but Charles Cardell already used that one.

Just looking at my shelves and adding names together...
Morley Sinclair - multipurpose
Bradbury Burgess - nicely alliterative
Amis Barnes - again suits two Amises (Amisae?)
Douglas Ackroyd - cheated and used DNA's first name
Hugo Maddox-Golding - a triplet
Moorcock Powell - this may be getting silly...
Zola Orwell - if I wanted to be a lady authoress
That's probably enough damage for now.

As a tribute to a great poet and to the creator of Sherlock Holmes (and with a nod to Harold Bloom) another possibility might be

I love librorumamans' "Man O. Mann" and thorold's "Gay Trollope". The second one would make a great pseudonym for an erotica writer. Especially one who writes homosexual erotica.
Austin Martin (Jane Austin and Martin Luther)
Simone Waugh (Simone de Beauvoir and Evelyn Waugh)
Hugo Dumas (Victor Hugo and Alexandre Dumas)
And no, I wouldn't actually use any of these.
