I don't think there is anything wrong with having a "pen name" because like locomotive suggested, most authors don't use their real names.

I think it would be hard for me to find out if someone is using their real name or not.

I also don't think it could be along the lines of being deceitful, this is the Internet I think that most people would understand the need for privacy.

I once had a business coach who used their middle name and last name, then one day - just by chance, I had found out that she was using a "fake name" but I wasn't offended she was doing what she felt she needed to do in order to keep herself protected.

I don't think it is betraying anyones trust.
