When asked this by the various NPCS who provide services, a PC should have the option to answer for themsleves, rather than it being scripted 100% of the time to  default to their IG name.

The other scripted services could then use the name provided the first/most recent time, stored on the token imo.

Just make an OOC message if you are going to lie. And if you need a Cit Paper with a different name on it or something, there are other ways. Or just grab a DM. 98% of characters would not benefit from this in the slightest.

But I want a Ziggurat totem for my evil abberation-summoning teddy bear, Bobo.

Jokes aside, the bear does not summon aberrataions. It summons illusions.

About the name thing, I suggest other player charcters around just ignore the name was said.

I believe that if you need to falsify your name in some way, get a DM to help you out. It's not that common as far as I know. I don't think scripted conversations are to be used as an indication of your name, and if it is, you can easily say something else before you pick the 'your name' continuation of the conversation.

I used one of my character's "false" names as the name on my character record; it worked out pretty well.

I think a scripted solution would be more trouble than it's worth. Get a DM's help if you want something specific.
