Real Name as an Alias	comment	A character needs an alias for some reason and technically doesn't lie about what their name is... it might be their real name if they're known by a nickname, their occupation, or vice versa, or their maiden name if they're a married woman, or their middle name being used as their first name, but the point is that the character can argue that it is their real name. This also has the practical advantage that they don't have to train themselves to react to someone calling out their alias' name and not react to their real one. Often used by disguised royalty with overly long names, since they can just pick one of their many middle names to be called by. One common variation is for a character to use their mother's maiden name as their surname in place of their father's. A Gender-Blender Name works particularly well for someone Disguised in Drag or who went through a Gender Bender. See also Mr. Smith. Sue Donym is when the alias used is the real name, after a bit of distortion in pronunciation. This Is My Name on Foreign is if the name is translated to a foreign language.

Real Name as an Alias / int_1b386512	comment	During Ranma Â½'s Martial Arts Rhythmic Gymnastics competition, female Ranma freely gives her full name, confident that nobody in attendance (which includes classmates from Furinkan High) will make the connection with her male side. She's right, and everyone blows it off as a bizarre coincidence, although Hiroshi and Daisuke would constantly pester Ranma about introducing them to "his sister" afterwards. None of the matters either way, though, as (in the manga) they all found out shortly after and didn't really care.

Real Name as an Alias / int_1bdeba5a	comment	X-Men: The Dark Phoenix Saga sees Jean Grey being seduced by a mutant named Jason Wyngarde, an aspiring member of the Hellfire Club. It turns out Wyngarde was one of their older and slightly more obscure enemies, the mutant villain Mastermind, and the X-Men just never found out his real name. Although he was also a Master of Illusion, and thus was also able to disguise himself. Similarly, Mystique often posed as a secret service agent named Raven Darkholme in her early days. Turns out that's her real name. Amusingly, the Animated Adaptation of Days of Future Past (with some of Bishop's future thrown in) has a woman looking just like the Raven Darkholme identity, whom Mystique copied, tied up, but deliberately left alive to be a witness to "Gambit" assassinating Senator Kelly. Presumably, this came before the revelation in the comics that Mystique was the "real" Raven Darkholme. Bishop at one point in the early noughties posed as an Australian police officer under the name "Lucas Bishop," commenting offhandedly in his internal monologue "the name is real, the badge is not." This was a Given Name Reveal after over a decade where "Bishop" was generally assumed to be either an alias or his only name.

In the end, he realises that while he is still remembered as an author, no-one remembers what his initials stand for, and that his name is unremarkable enough to not be immediately associated with the presumed long-dead author, so he goes by Herbert George Wells.

Real Name as an Alias / int_503d5009	comment	Matsuri Kazamaki of Ayakashi Triangle attends high school under his real name even after magically becoming female and acting as if he was always a girl. His family's connections handled the records, while his asocial history (and changing right before the first day) mean no one remembers a boy having that name, even classmates who went to middle school with him. It also helps that his name is unisex, while the way he spells it is outright feminine. Matsuri even uses his real name with Suzu's family, probably expecting them to have forgotten him after so many years—which backfires when they do remember, but assume Matsuri was always a girl they mistook for a boy (which would obviously complicate things if he ever becomes male again). Late in the story, Reo uses a Weirdness Censor-manipulating device to pull a much more audacious trick, convincing the school male and female Matsuri are twin siblings who inexplicably have the exact same name.

Real Name as an Alias / int_5ada53ed	comment	James Bond does this quite often, though there are several occasions Bond uses proper aliases too. Somewhat justified in that officially he is a globetrotting employee for something called Universal Exports, which is actually a cover for MI6. In Tomorrow Never Dies he poses as a banker named James Bond and actually has a fake employment record, but is given away as a spy because it is too perfect to be true, and because he is asking too many questions, not because of his name. Of course, making a number of blatant references about the Big Bad's actions to his face doesn't help his case... In Casino Royale (2006) despite spending a scene going over the details of his cover identity with Vesper (while flirting with her), Bond simply checks in to their hotel under his real name. He explains that since Le Chiffre is very well connected, he already knows who Bond really is anyway, and the fact that Le Chiffre will even continue with the game knowing there's an MI6 agent at the table is a sign that he's either desperate or overconfident, so Bond will just use his real name to unnerve Le Chiffre further. Vesper thinks Bond's just being reckless.

Real Name as an Alias / int_60156176	comment	Vorkosigan Saga: Miles Naismith Vorkosigan spent ten years running top secret operations under the cover identity of Admiral Miles Naismith. Once, on the point of being found out, he covered by pretending that "Admiral Naismith" was his clone, who used his Betan mother's maiden name because Betan law grants clones the legal status of family members. Admittedly, this mostly works because his cover identity is not officially connected in any way to Barrayar, and tends to show up on the other side of the galaxy. The clone cover is helped by Vorkosigan actually having a clone.

His real name is "Vic Stone" in the comics. Slade's real name is Slade Wilson. It's a badass enough name to work for the main villain even without knowing that in the original comics, he goes by the alias of "Deathstroke the Terminator". Of course, he would have done that here too, but the network didn't let him.

When they are pulled over by the highway patrol, Destro curses that he doesn't have any fake ID on him. However, Cobra Commander, who is driving, reveals that he has his driver's licence in his original given name, which he has not used for years. As such, there is no reason for the police to link the name to the terrorist Cobra Commander. He is correct, but the license winds up attracting attention for another reason.

Eventually the cloned Peter takes the name Ben Reilly, derived from Peter's middle name (and Uncle Ben's first name) and Aunt May's maiden name (which helps facilitate the story that the two are oddly identical cousins, as long as no-one thinks too closely about Peter and May's actual relationship).

The local sheriff asks if he would really be that stupid, and the team says that yes, he would. (In his defense, he's delusional and literally thinks the devil is protecting him so he cannot get caught.) In another episode, a fraud investigator the team is working with refers to a man with many aliases as "Bill" because in his earliest cons, he always gave some variation of that name (William, Will, Billy, etc.), so he figures he started out using his real name before he was able to keep track of a different identity. For what it's worth, the unsub's wife does indeed call him Bill, but it's never confirmed if that actually is his real name (based on the timeline, he was running scams long before their son was born, so it's possible he met her while using the alias and stuck with it).

Unfortunately Hinjo didn't think of an alias ahead of time, so when O-Chul asks his name, Hinjo starts to reply with his actual name before catching himself at the last second and changing it to Hin Jozuki. When everyone there notes that they've never heard of a noble family called "Jozuki", Hinjo tries to claim it's because the family is so minor and unimportant as noble families go that not many people are familiar with it.

Presumably, this came before the revelation in the comics that Mystique was the "real" Raven Darkholme.

Real Name as an Alias / int_fa748db1	comment	A very important plot point in Definitely, Maybe. The Hero's daughter insists that he tells the story about how he met her mother whom he is now divorced. While doing so, The Hero calls his exes by alternate names to conceal their identity from his daughter who knows her mother's real name. The daughter then realizes that her dad is still in love with April, one of his exes, because he didn't gave her a Code Name.

Real Name as an Alias / int_faea2e0	comment	In Tomorrow Never Dies he poses as a banker named James Bond and actually has a fake employment record, but is given away as a spy because it is too perfect to be true, and because he is asking too many questions, not because of his name. Of course, making a number of blatant references about the Big Bad's actions to his face doesn't help his case...

Real Name as an Alias / int_fdbace96	comment	Gravity Falls: "Not What He Seems" reveals that Grunkle Stan has been pulling a variant of this trope for years. After Ford got sucked into the portal, his brother decided to take his identity to cover up his disappearance until he could bring his brother back. Thus, officially, he's known by the name Stanford Pines for the next thirty years. To most people though, he's still known as Stan Pines. Considering how his first name is Stanley, this trope applies. It's only after the series finale that he starts legally going by Stanley again (although most people still call him Stan).
