Should be _pseudonym_, not “synonym”.

A *synonym* of an original word is another word that has the same or nearly 
the same meaning as the original word (from Ancient Greek σύν /syn/ “with”, 
ὄνομα /ónoma/ “name”).

<https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/synonym#English>

A *pseudonym* (*synonym*: alias) is a *name*, different from a person’s or 
group’s real name, assumed for a particular purpose (from Greek ψευδώνυμον 
/pseudṓnymon/, from ψεῦδος /pseûdos/ “lie, falsehood”; and ὄνομα /ónoma/ 
“name”).

There are other linguistic errors in your texts.  I recommend to you that 
you proofread your writings in that regard.  English is not my native 
language, but I am very good at it (like CEFR C1), so I can help you there.
