Andrew Barton "Banjo" Paterson OBE was an Australian bush poet, journalist and author. Sometimes a celebrity changes to a stage name (for instance: Maurice Joseph Micklewhite is better known as Michael Caine). Sometimes the nickname becomes part of the stage name. He probably didn't have much choice, but to go along with the media/celebrity system.
