working name
"Nome de guerra" é o "nome de trabalho" que as prostitutas usam, por razões de segurança, etc.
Pelo menos no Reino Unido "nome de guerra" das prostitutas é "working name". Faço frequentemente de intérprete para trabalhadores da indústria do sexo (em clínicas de saúde sexual, etc.) no centro de Londres e são estes os termos que oiço serem usados tanto por portugueses como por brasileiros.

There is, actually, nom de guerre, from French. But it is used in other contexts. See:

Her name is Clara but her pseudonym is Sharon
...or: in her profession/in her professional activities, she is known as Sharon...

Her name is Clara, though her nom de guerre is Sharon
I like this French phrase: I think it brings a certain sense of the artistic into the writing and makes clear literary connections between a survival struggle as a warrior and as a prostitute - a connection that the author may have been trying to emphasize. Cf. "nom de plume"
Another possibility: Her real name is Clara, but on the streets she is known as Sharon.

Her name is Clara, but her trade name is Sharon
Also possible, as the situation refers to prostitution (which is a kind of trade, you could say).

Her name is Clara but her stage name is Sharon.
I know this was closed years ago, but wanted to leave my contribution for future reference.
