J.K. Rowling's name is Joanne Rowling?

Before publishing her first volume, Bloomsbury feared that the target audience of young boys might be reluctant to buy books written by a female author.

They requested that Rowling use two initials, rather than reveal her first name.

As she had no middle name, she chose K. for Kathleen as the second initial of her pseudonym, from her paternal grandmother, Kathleen Ada Bulgen Rowling.

The name Kathleen has never been part of her legal name.
