It was a custom of the time to adopt a pen name.
(As was the custom of the time, they adopted pen names:
Abigail was Diana, after the Roman goddess of the moon and later she adopted the pen name, Portia, wife of the great Roman politician Brutus.
John adopted the name, Lysander, after the Spartan war hero.
John often addressed his letters to his "Dear Adoreable" or "My dear Diana," or "My Dear Portia," but Abigail addressed her letters to John, as she would for the rest of her life, to "My Dearest Friend.")
