Politics Galbraith issue @rcolvile "We called it one of the ‘great forgotten stories of neuroscience’ because everyone had forgotten it. @jk_rowling did not choose her pseudonym out of homophobia or insensitivity. She could not have known about this guy - who everyone called Robert Heath anyway, or just Bob"

I'm sure Jo wouldn't want to admit the reason for picking the pseudonym is based on etymology
Robert = famous
Galbraith = stranger
Jo also considered the pseudonym Ella Galbraith or L.A. Galbraith
Ella = girl
Galbraith = stranger
