Some other sites like Discogs (http://www.discogs.com/) distinguish between true pseudonyms (or "aliases") and "name variations" -- see http://www.discogs.com/help/submission-guidelines-release-artist.html#Artist_Name_Variation_ANV for an explanation of the differences. We would like to implement the same approach so that "Robert Heinlein" and "R. A. Heinlein" would become "name variations" (or "alternate names") while "Anson MacDonald" and "Lyle Monroe" would become pseudonyms.
