Seems reasonable- for a democrat
When my roommate was a well known rock photographer back in the 1970's, I used to know the "check-in" names of all of the big rocks act, because they'd call and leave messages for him. Book characters were popular.
I was told to use an alias by an employer because I worked in a 2 person department, and my workmate, who had been there 3 years, had the same name as me. "Hi! I'm Mary. If you have a problem call me or Mary". I refused to use my middle name EVER. So they had me use an alias.
