Moniker
A moniker (or "monicker") is a
pseudonym, or
cognomen, which one gives to oneself. The meaning is distinct from
nickname, in that a nickname is generally given to one by another, and not chosen for oneself.Typically, this title is used as a professional name, instead of the person's given name, for works of art, music, books, or performances. Monikers are commonly used in small subcultures such as in railroad tramping (i.e.,"Baltimore Red") and on Internet message boards.
