Answer 3

is the French term translated by the English pen name, “a writer’s pseudonym.” Its plural is spelled noms de plume, and both nom and noms are pronounced NON, with the second n sound nasalized. Pen name is better for English use. See AKA; FOREIGN PHRASES; PSEUDONYM.

Answer 4

Roughly translated it means Name of Pen or Pen Name

Nom de plume is a pseudonym adopted by an author. Nom de plume is a French-language expression. Different authors take their pen names for different reasons. The Brontë sisters adopted male names as they felt they would either not be published at all, or not taken seriously as women authors. Others do so for fear of violence or harassment, for example Ibn Warraq. Others do so to segregate different types of work: Lewis Carroll, used his real name, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, to write academic papers on logic; Agatha Christie wrote romantic novels as Mary Westmacott; Daniel Handler writes A Series Of Unfortunate Events as Lemony Snicket. Some writers, particularly in genre fiction, are so prolific that they are forced to take pen names in order to sell their books to different publishers: this is the case, for instance, with John Dickson Carr, who, in the 1930s, was publishing two detective stories a year under his own name and another two, through another publisher, under the pen name Carter Dickson. L. Frank Baum used seven of his pen names so that his publisher appeared to have more authors signed to them. Pseudonyms are not always secret: Stendhal's real name was known by his contemporaries.
