Do you file your taxes as Taco Steev?
(Hint: Ayn Rand was a pseudonym. She collected her benefits under her real name.)

I know Ayn Rand was her pen name, but she collected social security under the name "Ann O'Connor" which isn't her legal name.

Yes it is, or rather was, as a result of marrying a man whose name happened to be Frank O'Connor, and changing her last name to match his, as is customary in much of the West.

I know who she married. Her first name is not Ann though (birth or legal).

Ah, you're right. *Shrug* However, her social security payouts were in fact to Alice O'Connor, not Ann.

Not according to Scott McConnell who's considered an "expert on" on Ayn Rand. Nice try though

It does have a nice poetic ring to it, doesn't it?
