tbh I used to think about pseudo's all the time back when I was predominantly writing fantasy fiction simply because the scifi and fantasty genre is so heavily male dominated. I particularly favoured David Walker.
But, alas, my days of writing fantasy-esque whatnot has long surpassed itself. At least in the meantime!
Suppose for a moment that the heart has two heads, that the heart has been chained and dunked in a glass booth filled with river water. The heart is monologuing about hesitation and fulfillment while behind the red brocade the heart is drowning. - R.S
First initial, middle initial, last name. I could rock the sci-fi world with just that name. I mean...those who know me in real life will get the joke...

Depends on a couple things. If I publish before I get married, I'll use a pen name, perhaps K.B. Key or similar. If I publish after I get married and I have a cool married name, I'll use that (because I don't really like the way my current name looks in print...) Or, if I use my pen name and then get married and am embarrassed by the kind of things I published before I get married... I'll use some other name. I dunno. It's all very complicated.
