The problem with all of these is that they don't necessarily imply
that it is a local alias for *you* only; not what is displayed to your
buddies - there has been a fair amount of confusion about this in the
past; that is why we renamed it to "Local Alias" from "Alias".  I
think you'd be hard pressed to come up with something better than
"Local Alias" that conveys this intended meaning - if you do come up
with something, we'd be happy to consider it.
