Plus Barry was his middle name, right? He was born John Barry Prendergast, I seem to recall.

'Jerry Fielding' was born Joshua Feldman
Romanian Alexander Paucker wrote music for British cinema & television under the alias 'Francis Chagrin'
When referring to Komeda, I always type Krzysztof not wishing to Anglicize by using 'Christopher' ... but not long ago I read that even 'Komeda' was a simplification for his music-making in Poland whilst his actual surname included 'Trzcinski'.

Tom Tykwer, Johnny Klimek and Reinhold Heil used to compose music under the moniker "Pale 3". Don't know if they still actively use that name.

Leo Nichols, of course.

I think the tale you refer to is that as a kid he had a sign on his (bed)room door which read ' komenda', which meant captain or commander. Somewhere along it go mistyped. Et voila, I think anyways.

This board is supposed to be a Goldsmith shrine! Shame on you for not mentioning J. Michael Hennagin, or was that just an urban legend? I think he took the name from his brother-in-law at the time or something.
I always thought Chris P. Bacon was an alias, but it's apparently his real name.
There's Junkie XL, of course, although he seems to abandon that name these days.
While not an alias, strictly speaking, John Williams used his middle name Towner on his first studio album, and skipped Williams altogether.
And if this also encompasses 'composer collectives' (which functions more like a band, really), the list can get really, really long.

Watched a 1970s TV movie where the soundtrack credit was in the end titles: MacLeod and Prigmore.
Figured it was a production library, or maybe a duo, but turned out to be actor Murray MacLeod. He also used the composer alias "The Orphanage" which I saw in another 1970s TV movie recently. Sort of looks like Robert Walker Jr. Acted mostly in TV in the 1960-70s.

I have nothing to add to this thread other than to say I have serious avatar envy for Last Child
