When Ursula K. Le Guin sold "Nine Lives" to Playboy, they asked if they could byline her as "U. K. LeGuin". She agreed to use the initials (she says in The Wind's Twelve Quarters) without much thought about what the request implied - implications that annoyed her later. All her other fiction, and any reprints of "Nine Lives", have been published under her usual name.
