Here's what the USPTO has to say:
"According to the law, only the inventor may apply for a patent, with certain exceptions. If a person who is not the inventor should apply for a patent, the patent, if it were obtained, would be invalid. The person applying in such a case who falsely states that he/she is the inventor would also be subject to criminal penalties."
If your alias is also your legal name (as in you changed it), it sounds as if it may be possible. However...
Contact the USPTO to be sure:
1 800 786-9199 or 571-272-1000
Press 2 for patent information and assistance
Hope that helps!
