Hi My dictionary has it as an adverb or a complement noun - My name is Dave, alias dave_anon There, it is either modifying what I say, or it is complementing what I choose. I don't think it can be a preposition Dave

Hi
Yes, I sort of see that:
- He writes as dave_anon, but he is Dave, alias dave_anon
You could say it is a preposition there, I suppose. My experience is that it is usually a noun:
- He is known as Chas 'the hat' - that is his alias
Dave
