I think it was his real name.
Just checked in the search the web block at the bottom here.
We both got it wrong! The name is supposed to be Robert A. Heinlein. A for Anson I also noted he wrote a self titled autobiography. My favorite was his "Past Through Tomorrow". In it he has a story called "The Cool Green Hills of Earth". There was a poem in that story that was quoted by Walter Cronkite when the astronauts returned from the 1st trip to the moon.
There is a side note I read somewhere that Heinlein was almost arrested by the FBI for reveling secrets of the atom bomb. Before they even exploded one!!!!!!

The name was Robert A. (for Anson) Heinlein and it was his real name. In the beginning he wrote under several names, including Anson McDonald Lyle Monroe and Caleb Saunders.

To start with, it is Robert A. Heinlein.
According the site noted below:
"Robert Anson Heinlein was born in Butler, Missouri, in 1907, and died in Carmel, California, in 1988, age 80. He was a great author who emerged out of the Pulps of the '30s and '40s to become a shooting star to glow brighter and brighter in the decades to come..."
