Whether it's for serious reasons or a silly scenario, occasionally a character will have to pretend to be someone he isn't. As the story continues (probably as a treat for people who've been watching the show for some time), he'll use a name that has been mentioned in the past. This is the Go-to Alias: a default pretend name on which the character falls back when he's pretending to be someone else.
A variation on this would be the Go-to Identity, when this name carries a history or personality to which the character sticks whenever he uses it. In more dire circumstances, the character will start associating with that identity more than his own. If Played for Laughs, he will be Lost in Character.
If the character uses multiple aliases with a common thread, they're Themed Aliases.

Chuck:
It's implied in "Chuck Versus the Break-Up" that Sarah and Bryce are habitually "Mr. and Mrs. Anderson" when going Undercover as Lovers.
The eponymous Chuck Bartowski introduced the idea of Charles Carmichael (the successful version of himself) in the third episode, "Chuck vs. the Tango". Over the course of season two, it becomes so associated with him that it ends up as one of his operating aliases. In one episode people are congratulating him as both "Bartowski" and "Carmichael" as he walks through a crowd.
Further down the line, even Morgan gets into the act, establishing Michael Carmichael as his go-to alias.

The Belgariad: Silk has two primary cover identities in place; the down-on-his-luck spice merchant Ambar of Kotu, and the reasonably successful wholesaler Radek of Boktor. He has others too, but Radek and Ambar see the most play because he likes the characters. Technically, "Silk" is a deep-cover fake identity as well, since having his real identity as Kheldar, Prince and Heir Apparent to the throne of Drasnia, be public knowledge would be Very Bad.

On White Collar, Neal Caffrey uses Nick Halden as a regular alias when playing cons. Probably because he knows the FBI already knows about that identity; he's had others, but he'd prefer not to give up all his secrets.

Parks and Recreation:
Andy Dwyer used Bert Macklin, FBI agent, in a few scenarios. However, he eventually dies and is replaced by his brother, Kip Hackman. Or so the President's enemies think.
In the same vein, April Ludgate likes being Janet Snakehole. Originally just the daughter of the owner of the Snakehole Lounge (so she could score free drinks), the next time we see her she's a fabulously wealthy widow with a Mysterious Past.

Gentleman Bastard: Locke Lamora and Jean Tannen have had a lot of aliases in their time... but when pressed for an identity on short notice, they can always fall back on Tavrin Callas. This is sort of a prank on their part; the first time Jean used that name, he was infiltrating the cult of the death goddess and faked his own suicide. They figure if anyone traces the name far enough back, the followers of the death goddess can declare it a miracle.

On King of the Hill, Dale likes to go by Rusty Shackleford, generally whenever he's doing something sneaky, although he also refuses to sign his real name to any document, being a comical Right-Wing Militia Fanatic. At one point in the series, the actual Rusty Shackleford shows up—Dale knew him as a kid and had thought Rusty had died—it turns out that Rusty had just moved away and wasn't happy being connected with Dale's various acts of stupidity.

Wolverine uses the identity of "Patch" (wearing an eyepatch), a mercenary, when he acts undercover in the Far East. Depending on the Writer, most of Patch's regular contacts, especially in Madripoor, know perfectly well who he is, because he looks like Wolverine wearing an eyepatch, but go along with it anyway.

Since Batman didn't want Tim Drake revealing his Robin identity even to other heroes, he sometimes told them that his name was "Alvin Draper." Amusingly, his best friend Conner immediately dismissed it, on the grounds that no one with that name would willingly go by it; he'd have introduced himself as "Al" or "Vinnie" instead. On the other hand while he introduced himself as Alvin to his girlfriend Spoiler he didn't even try to claim the id was his real one since they already understood the identity problems of their relationship.

Moist von Lipwig in Going Postal is similarly described as having two or three favourite identities. Making Money shows the flaw in this approach for a conman; the fact "Albert Spangler" has a history makes it more likely that this history will come back to haunt him.

Seinfeld: Each of the male characters has one. In the Puerto Rican day episode, they all end up in the same apartment using their aliases.
George Costanza has Art Vandelay, who is an architect, a marine biologist, or an importer/exporter, dating back as early as the second episode. He'll also use the name Vandelay when coming up with other lies, such as claiming he was employed by Vandelay Industries. In the series finale, the judge the four are sentenced under is actually named Art Vandelay. George interprets this as a good sign. It isn't.
Cosmo Kramer would often pretend to be wealthy businessman H.E. Pennypacker or various people with the last name "van Nostrand".
Jerry himself occasionally went by Kel Varnsen.

Batman has his Matches Malone identity that he uses to get information about the criminal underworld. Unusually, Matches was a real person; a gangster who Batman thought could have had the potential to go straight, if he hadn't been killed. In one storyline it turned out the real Matches was still alive, but on his return to Gotham was immediately killed by Scarface because of Batman!Matches' actions. Bruce blamed himself and started Becoming the Mask.
Robin (Tim Drake)'s Alvin Draper alias (mentioned above) became more of an identity when he used it to go undercover in Gotham's teen gangs.

In the Hitman series, 47 will typically use the name "Tobias Rieper" as his main alias whenever he needs to give out a name. Hitman 3 reveals that he has a social media account under the name where he posts many photos of popular tourist locations around the world... and he doesn't appear to be in any of them (suggesting that it's just a dummy account loaded with stock photos).

He's so good as this that when Spider-Man interrogated his secret identity in an earlier episode, he couldn't tell it was him.

In Grandville, LeBrock has several alternate identities, but he seems rather fond of the name "Meles". (Meles is the scientific name for the badger family, and the European badger is meles meles.)

In Planescape: Torment, The Nameless One has the option of using the moniker Adahn when talking to people. And thanks to the nature of the Planes, if you convince enough people that there's a guy named Adahn wandering around out there, you can meet him in a bar.

The Saint: Simon Templar liked to use the alias "Sebastian Tombs". Deconstructed after a while, when someone points out that he's used it so often that people just treat it as synonymous with him and it's not actually much use for hiding his identity now.

Spider-Man foe Mysterio has used the alias of Ludwig Rinehart three times —once when posing as a psychiatrist to try to drive Spidey insane, again while running a rest-home scam, and a third time when posing as his own psychiatrist, and convincing the actual psychiatrist that he was Mysterio.

Leverage: Sophie Devereaux is the alias by which we know Gina Bellman's con artist.
Not that the rest of the gang doesn't have standard cover identities. John Rogers says it's to decrease the number of names they have to run by their legal team to keep them from slandering someone. A small selection:
Nate uses Jimmy Papadokalis every time he's playing a lawyer; he's used Tom Baker and Bob Gibson multiple times as well.
Eliot has used the name Wes Abernathy at least twice.
Parker has used Alice White at least twice.
Hardison has gone by Johnathon Steed at least twice

Resurrection: Ertuğrul: Used by several characters throughout the show, such as:
Petruchio and Titus, who go undercover in the city of Aleppo as Tatos Harput and Ebu Hisham, respectively.
Noyan uses this in a couple of season 2 episodes, as well as a different one in season 4, where he momentarily dons the moniker of “The Traveler�.
A protagonist example happens in season 3. A man who drops by the Kayi-Cavdar grounds claiming to be a traveling merchant is later revealed to be Sultan Alaeddin Kayqubad.

In Critical Role, Jester's go-to fake name is "Ms. Fiona Fancypants", and she even holds on to the "Fancypants" surname sometimes with other first names. "Nancy Fancypants" is perhaps not the most convincing name for someone impersonating a drow.
Scanlan tends to use "Burt Reynolds", sometimes paired with the appropriate fake moustache.

The Stainless Steel Rat, in his criminal days, had a constructed identity complete with false fingerprints, pads that changed the shape of his face, and so on, which he would adopt before beginning any con (and keep up underneath any other alias required for the con), so that the police would spend their time looking for that person instead of the real him.

Friends:
Phoebe is practically guaranteed to use the name "Regina Phalange" whenever pretending to be someone else. In "The One Where Joey Speaks French", she gives her alias as a French woman as 'Régine Phalange'.
Joey apparently uses "Ken Adams" from time to time, but we only see it in action in one episode.
