It's weird how J.R.R. Tolkien, J.K. Rowling, and C.S. Lewis didn't go by "John Tolkien," "Joanne Rowling," and "Clive Lewis" on the cover of their books, amirite?

Lewis hated the name Clive. When he was a kid, he insisted that his parents call him Jack--and his friends called him Jack for the rest of his life.

R.L. Stine, too. Robert Lawrence Stine.
