A character, engaged in "covert ops" of the more comedic kind, is asked for their name. They never prepared one before hand, and don't have time to come up with a Line-of-Sight Name. Without thinking, they begin to blurt out their real name, only to cover it up with some painful pronunciation twisting and a quick stammer. Real Name as an Alias takes the same concept to an even greater degree, where there is no distortion of a name, just plainly using part of their real name, possibly all of it. Compare Unpronounceable Alias. For slightly better pseudonyms, try Character Name Alias, Line-of-Sight Alias, and Sdrawkcab Alias. See also Louis Cypher, Hugh Mann, Steven Ulysses Perhero and Mr. Smith. See also Last-Second Word Swap. |

The movie Harry and the Hendersons (also titled Bigfoot And The Hendersons internationally), is about Bigfoot moving in with a suburban family named Henderson. When a news reporter attempts to track down Bigfoot, calling it a vicious creature, the father of the family defends it, claiming that it's a gentle giant. When the reporter asks his name, he gets as far as "Hen" before realizing that would be a bad idea. The reporter refers to him as "The mysterious Mr. Hen" through the rest of the movie. | |

The Pretender always had Jarod doing one of two things when developing an identity for his "pretend" - either he would use the name of a famous person from the same field (Jarod Earp, U.S. Marshal, Jarod Patton, U.S. Army) or use a name with a more subtle connection (such as Jarod Marley during Christmas time or Jarod Shatner while working with a search and rescue team). | |

In The Legend of the Condor Heroes, Yang Tiexin (楊é�µå¿ƒ/æ�¨é“�心 in Chinese, or 'Ironheart Yang' in the English translation) renames himself Mu Yi (穆易) after surviving the attack on Ox Village in the first chapter. While his new given name itself means "change", the wordplay relies on knowledge of the original Chinese that has to explained in a footnote in translations—his new name, Mu Yi (穆易), hints at his original surname of Yang (楊), as 穆 is a homophone of 木 ("tree/wood") in Chinese and his original surname of 楊 ("aspen/poplar tree") contains the radical 木. | |

In the first broadcast episode of The Simpsons, "Simpsons Roasting On an Open Fire", Homer, working as a Mall Santa, almost gives himself away when his son is the next kid in line: "What's your name, Bart...ner? Partner? In "Fear of Flying", he gives his name as Guy Incognito to enter Moe's in disguise. Subverted in that it turns out it wasn't Homer after all. Given his lack of intelligence, this happens to Homer a fair bit. In another Season 1 episode, after a babysitting service refuses Marge's business, Homer tries calling them immediately afterwards and avoids being rebuffed when he claims his name isn't Simpson but "Homer...Samson". Later episodes take it to the extreme with him flat out giving his real name and in one instance desperately trying to come up with a fake name to give Mr Burns, ultimately answering with...Mr Burns, possibly throwing in a dash of Line-of-Sight Name. Another episode subverts the trope. Homer claims to be Mr. Burns to recover a letter filled with angry attacks on the old man. When the postal worker asks for his first name, all he can come up with is: "...I don't know." |

The Incredible Hulk (1968): At one point during the early 90s, the Hulk and Betty pass themselves off as Mr. and Mrs. Danner. Somehow, nobody questions this or the fact that the mysterious, abnormally sized Mr Danner is covered entirely in bandages. All the more odd given this was written by Peter David, known for his tendency to cast snarky lampshades a'plenty. | |

Kenan & Kel has this. Not out of pretending not to be himself, but simply by being star struck when he meets the president Kenan gets the name "Kiki". Kel is also starstruck but ends up with the name Sharona because he stammers "M, m, my... Sharona". Another more straight example is when they enter a TV show to win a house and when a woman asks their names: |

The Incredible Hulk (1977) has a dramatic example: David Banner always used his first name and a last name that started with "B". If the name was common enough (David Brown, for example) he would use it multiple times. This makes sense as his true identity was believed dead, so no one was looking for him. He's less likely to make a mistake since he's answering to his own first name. |

A classic Forgotten Realms character is Elminster's scribe (and butler, and apprentice) Lhaeo who was great at playing a jerk for Old Mage. "Coincidentally", this work left him both ready for anything and acquainted with half or so of the most powerful people on the continent. There also was a missing prince of Tethyr, one Haedrak Errilam Alemander Olosar Lhorik... later also known as King Haedrak III. If his compatriots knew where he is before it was time to pull Rightful King Returns, he would get about as much attention from assassins as Elminster from mad wizards. | |

Batman: A favorite alias of the Joker is "Joe Kerr". This habit first appeared in the Silver Age, but it still comes up every once in a while as a Mythology Gag. note Amusingly, one of the main writers on Batman: The Brave and the Bold is named Joseph Kuhr. That's not a pen name. Other examples of alias used by the Joker include Mr. White and Jack Napier, the latter of which may be his real name if the 1989 Batman movie is to believed. |

Gintama: When Katsura, a wanted criminal, goes undercover, he often takes aliases suspiciously close to his real name, case in point "Space Captain Katsuura", "Katsuo" or "Joey Katsura" ("Joey" sounds close to Joui, his organization). If that isn't bad enough, he has a pesky habit of insisting that his name be spoken correctly. Luckily enough, the authorities are never smart enough to see through his terrible aliases and disguises. | |

A weird behind-the-scenes example happens in Attack of the Clones. Obi-Wan learns that the Republic's new Clone Army was supposedly commissioned ten years ago by a Jedi named Sifo-Dyas, who died nearly ten years previouly. The connection to Darth Sidious isn't exactly obvious, but it's still not hard to parse out either. However, if it wasn't for a typo, the alias would have been even worse. George Lucas originally intended for the supposed Jedi's name to be "Sido-Dyas," but hit the "f" key by mistake, turning a laughably overt alias into a slightly more believable one. In addition, this typo also inspired Lucas to retcon Sifo-Dyas from an alias of Sidious to an actual Jedi Master who was manipulated by the Sith to build a clone army. | |

In Batman: The Movie, Batman calls up the US Navy to find out how the Penguin acquired a ballistic-missile submarine. Turns out he just bought it as war surplus, after giving his name as P.N. Gwynne, and only leaving a PO Box number by way of a forwarding address. It was admittedly an obsolete and rather clapped-out boat left over from the war, but even the writers of that incarnation of Batman couldn't let this go without some Lampshade Hanging. | |

Roommates has an example bordering on Louis Cyphernote (It's not because he isn't a devil/demon, just one of The Fair Folk) with a dash of Mr. Smith. Der Erlkönig uses the name "Lord Errol King" or "Mr. King" for short in his human disguise (which is a pretty convincing glamour in itself). | |

In Case Closed Conan nearly did this at the very beginning, before he came up with Conan Edogawa, he nearly said "Shinichi". He's lucky that Conan can be rendered in Japanese. Imagine if it was some name with L's everywhere. Not only that, but many times when Conan and Heiji meet up for a case, Heiji (unintentionally or otherwise) slips and calls him "Kudo" in front of the girls, always covering it up with another word that sort of might sound a little bit like it (a homonym.) Also applies with some of the members of the Black Organization — a Freeze-Frame Bonus panel and some supplementary materials reveal that members Gin and Vodka's real names are Jin Kurosawa and Saburo Uokka, respectively. |

In One Piece, Luffy uses this for the tournament in Dressrosa. Due to being in disguise then, Luffy was told precisely by Franky to not let his real name be revealed. Unfortunately immediately after being told so, he almost writes his whole name on the registry sheet before being thankfully stopped by Franky. Having already written down the "Lu" part of his name down and rather use a more clever alias, he just finishes off his registry as "Lucy". | |

Done in two episodes of Rugrats that involve crossdressing: In "Beauty Contest," when Stu and Grandpa disguise Tommy as a girl to enter him in the Little Miss Lovely contest, Stu starts to give his name as "Tom-" but then quickly changes it to "Tonya." In "The Clan of the Duck," when Chuckie and Phil decide to wear dresses for the day and meet other babies who mistake them for girls, Phil tells them his name is "Phillian" and calls Chuckie "Chuckina." |

When the time travelers return to the present they discover that there is a school in Ohio named after her alias. There is some fun with better thought-out pseudonyms in the next couple of episodes but eventually the characters realise there is no real need for time travelers to use fake names when dealing with people from before they were born and they can just use their real ones. | |

Given his lack of intelligence, this happens to Homer a fair bit. In another Season 1 episode, after a babysitting service refuses Marge's business, Homer tries calling them immediately afterwards and avoids being rebuffed when he claims his name isn't Simpson but "Homer...Samson". Later episodes take it to the extreme with him flat out giving his real name and in one instance desperately trying to come up with a fake name to give Mr Burns, ultimately answering with...Mr Burns, possibly throwing in a dash of Line-of-Sight Name. | |

Doctor Who: The Doctor's pseudonym "John Smith" is a Line-of-Sight Name, but that he's Doctor John Smith fits the trope. The Master's various "disguised" names, which are almost always anagrams, synonyms or translations of the name Master. In the new series, Mister Saxon was even an (unintended) anagram of Master No. Six — which (depending on whether you count The Other Darrins separately) he was. |

but i wrote the words to the swan song: While Juliet Capulet bothers with having widely different last names for her aliases over the course of her centuries-long life, all of her first names for her aliases are always "Juliet" or a variant of it. She even lampshades how obvious it was when Natasha Romanov asked if her "Juliet Brontë" alias was her real name. | |

In the Pokémon: The Series episode "Showdown in Dark City," Ash Ketchum starts to give his real name as "Ash...Ketchup..." before changing it to "Tom Ato". Following his example, Misty and Brock introduce themselves as "Ann Chovie" and "Caesar Salad", respectively. The reason they had the pseudonyms at all was to avoid being tied to the gang war that was plaguing the city, which could damage their reputations as Pokémon trainers. | |

In Codename: Kids Next Door, Numbuh 86 appears to recruit people for a girls-only mission. Numbuh 3 agrees to go. Numbuh 4, not wanting to miss the action, disguises himself as a girl and tags along, claiming his codename is "Numbuh Four... Thirty... Teen... Seven". Though considering the Kids Next Door database has accepted names such as "Numbuh 65.3", "Numbuh 30c", "Numbuh 19th Century" and "Numbuh T", it's not that much of a stretch to accept there's a "Numbuh Four Thirty-Teen Seven". | |

In American Gods: Low-Key Lyesmith = Loki Lie-Smith. Which only works if you pronounce it in the English way, and not the Norse/Icelandic way. Since it's revealed that the American analogues have little connection to the originals, the only proper way to pronounce it is in American English. Mr. Wednesday isn't much better. Wednesday is the modern English form of the Old English "W�dnesdæg", meaning Odin's Day. Guess who Mr.Wednesday really is. |

So he starts off with "Ensign Ack-", coughs, and finishes it as "Ackran". Star Wars: Honor Among Thieves: Needing a quick-and-dirty alias to call the Imperial data center for information, Han Solo goes with, "Lieutenant Hannu Sololo." When Scarlet fabricates a fake ID for their infiltration, they keep the name for some reason. |

In Dragon Ball Z, Gohan manages to do this with his race name when coming up with his Sentai alter-ego, Great Saiyaman. To explain, in Japan "Saiyajin" means "Saiya person" (hence "Saiya people" in the Speedy dub), so "Great Saiyaman" simply Anglicizes the last part of his race's name. Fortunately, nobody on Earth has ever heard the word Saiyan before. | |

A number of characters in Sword Art Online do this for their player names: Kirigaya Kazutonote Japanese order is Kirito. Andrew Gilbert Mills is Agil. Shino Asada goes in-game by the name of Sinon. Silica and Klein's are puns on their Japanese names which depending on how the words are read as, or used, can reference Siliconnote Silica's being Ayano Keiko, and revealed that her given name of Keiko, is based on the Japanese word for silicon, keiso. And she received it, based on her birthday being October 4th (10th month, 4th day, 10+4= 14. 14th element, Silicon). or a Klein Bottlenote Tsuboi Ryoutarou is Klein's real name, and a Klein Bottle in Japanese is "Kurain no Tsuboi" respectively. The Progressive movies introduce Misumi Tozawa, who in-game goes by Mito. |

In one of Donald Westlake's stories about John Dortmunder, John stammers out "John D— Diddums". From then on, despite realizing that it doesn't sound like a real name ("It's Welsh," he'll frequently explain), whenever he needs an alias on short notice he panics and can't think of anything but "John Diddums". This later becomes his Go-to Alias, despite him hating it, as it always the only alias he can think of when under stress. | |

Done surprisingly seriously in "Frasier Has Spokane", an episode of Frasier. Frasier's show is going to be syndicated in the titular city, but he's replacing a local legend, and the entire population seems to hate him. To help, he has Roz, his producer, call in and pretend to be someone with a problem; during the call, she says her name is "Ro...berta." The serious part comes in when the façade falls and she genuinely expresses her pain about her latest breakup; Frasier similarly offers her sincere advice, and comforts her. | |

Captain America: Steve Roger's go-to alias when doing infiltrating is usually "Rogers Stevens". If he's feeling very sneaky, he might be "Grant Stevens" or "Rogers Grant" (his middle name). In Cable & Deadpool, Steve Rogers, the Star-Spangled Man with the Plan, being the ingenious "Master of Disguise" that he is, infiltrated Cable's island Providence as an immigrant with the name Roger Stevens. Not only that but his idea of hiding his signature blond hair is to wear a Brooklyn Dodgers baseball cap. |
