Less paranoid than simply being careful. ICANN doesn't follow some "registrar" law; they follow their own rules. By their rules they want a true, full name. Failure to not play by their rules can lead to loss of the domain. Why risk it?
What you describe is not an alias unless you at least sometimes go by that name in your personal or business life. If stopped by the police, for instance, you can't give them some name you just thought up. and say that's who you are. You CAN give them an alias if you're also known as that, but it's silly to think you can just give out any old name. An alias is not the same as a false name.
A business name, like your domain name, is an acceptable alias, IMO. You (or your operating entity) are automatically known as that, obviously, because you're present on the Web. You don't need to come up with a fake name that is clearly only used as a dodge (or why else use an alias).
