It depends on why they're using a different name.

Oliver Horn sounds like a real name being concealed and then dramatically revealed, which is Given Name Reveal.

I am not the least bit familiar with Motoko Kusanagi. If they are some kind of fighter, maybe it's a Nom de Guerre.

There are several other options such as Red Baron (pseudonym given based on awesome skills), Pen Name (used by a writer or artist), Moustache de Plume (used to conceal gender). I'm getting most of these from the Naming Conventions index.
