I don't know about your state, but in mine you may use aliases as long as your intent is not criminal.

Yes, in mine, too. The point isn't about legality. The point is that people who use aliases are, all other things being equal, generally assumed to be less reputable than those who don't. For good reason. Let me give you an example. If your daughter came home from college with a beaux who you discovered was using an alias, wouldn't that be a red flag for you? You'd be afraid he might be a criminal. Or crazy. Or just plain strange.

Actually, I'm sort of using an alias. When I was divorced in the Dominican Republic, there was a mix up and my divorce papers mistakenly restored my maiden name but I continued to use my ex's name because it was convenient to do so. Simple explanation. Your daughter's boyfriend might have a simple explanation, too, but I'll bet you would be anxious to know what it is. And you probably wouldn't take his word for it on the explanation.
