The question is: should bloggers use their real name or a pseudonym?  To me, a pseudonym is a preferred option than the "real" sounding name.  I mean, who really knows if my identity in the blogosphere is truthful?  Is it really that more useful to go by the name Joe Smith or Superbmindset?  And besides, a pseudonym is in no way anonymous.  When I post a comment to your blog, you have the option of tracking my IP address, so if I am in any way "trolling" on your site, you can easily identify the owner of the comment.  In other words, a pseudonym is not necessarily an anonymous one, in the general interpretation of the word anonymous.  In conclusion, I feel there is a truthfulness in utilizing a pseudonym in the sense of letting the reader know you would rather withhold your true identity and not take credit for your insights....
