Can you give your child a different name when entering in competitions?

I'm just asking in general if your DC enters national competitions and say you didn't want an absent father or someone finding out can you alter a DC name for this purpose? I'm more thinking high end competitions where there is recordings of games and names online.

You can request names are not put online I think as you can with school. I'm not sure about the name but many forms have a known as box which you could put different name I suppose

Yes but this wouldn't work as professional players want to check your previous scores and stats it impossible not to have a name to go by. I'm assuming I can use a known as?
