Yes, but the point is you have to buy a ticket with your real name. You can't board the plane unless the ticket is in your name. If it is in your name, you get stopped at check-in.

You can buy the ticket under whatever name you like. Identity is verified at security, and you can edit the boarding pass to match your real name.

I can't believe the point isn't getting through. I'll take my shot at it.
