No one told him to pick the name. His real name is Theodore Seuss Geisel. He used the name as a pseudonym while working as an author; another he used for some works was Theo Lesieg.

Theodor Geisel chose the pen name Dr. Seuss himself. He used the name "Seuss" (his maternal maiden name) and added "Dr." as a whimsical touch since his father had always wanted him to pursue a career in medicine.
