Using a pen name.
-
I have begun to blog under my real name. However, I have another project and I would like to use a penname. I am relatively new to WordPress, I know there are admin features. But it seems like it would be too transparent or too easy to post under the wrong name/account. Does anyone have a suggestion for managing a pen name using admin tools or would it be better to set up a second account?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You must register up a separate username using a different email address, while you are logged out of WordPress.com, and register the second blog under it to insure the two blogs are not associated.

Thanks, I figured as much. A follow up question. I have started the blog under my current account. I want to keep the name I’ve chosen. So I was going to transfer it between accounts. I have made a few dummy pages/posts (it has not been made public). If I delete the pages/posts I created, would there be any way to tell that the blog was created under this username?
A simpler way to do it would be to delete the current blog, there’s not much there to save really, besides the name. But, do names become available right away or is there a waiting period?

If you delete a blog, then you will never be able to use it again.
…there’s not much there to save really, besides the name…
If the name is important, then do NOT DELETE it!!!!

Do as timethief said:

Then you can transfer the account to the second one:
