How do I get my home phone number listed under a different name?

When signing up for new phone service, I would like to have my number listed in the directory under a ficticious name for security reasons and only give it out to certain people. Is this possible. Would the phone company ask for ID?

if you have a Ma'Bell landline, you have the right to "use"any name you choose! only your billing name go to be correct!...I have will my service the choice of changing my name all by myself, via my computer log-on!....with VoIP packet8...I just love this feature...

You need I.D. before Any Listing can be undertaken!

How does the company know who you are without Correct and Current I.D. ?
