Hello,
I discuss a related issue--Nabokov's use of alter egos to stage mock biographies of himself--in an article entitled "Playing Nabokov: Performances by Himself and Others" in Studies in Twentieth Cuntry Literature 22.2 (1998): 295-318. Dean Flower's "Nabokov's Personae" in Hudson Review 38 (1986): 147-56 and James Morrison's "Nabokov's Third-Person Selves" in Philological Quarterly 71.4 (1992): 495-509 might also be useful.

I am not sure this is precisely what you are looking for but you may be
interested in a recent paper by Alexander Dolinin about Nabokov's
nominal anagrams. The article, in Russian, can be found in the Proceedings
of the Tallinn-Tartu 1999 conference on Nabokov -- KUL'TURA RUSSKOI
DIASPORY: VLADIMIR NABOKOV - 100, ed. Belobrovtseva, Danilevskii, Utgoff,
Mironov (Tallinn: TPU Kirjastus, 2000), 99-107. GD
