_why the lucky stiff has done exactly this all along, and became a legend in the Ruby community. As long as your pseudonym is on par with the image you want to give (e.g. not "RockDeath3000" if you plan to do half-serious work) and your virtual identity is consistent across websites/blog/GitHub so that people can recognize you, I can't see why it would be a problem. :)
