Mi nombre de guerra es El caballero del gabán verde
How do you say Nombre de Guerra in English? It´s used to avoid giving identity etc.. something like nickname, alias etc... But a different connotation. Usually to chat with a different name.

The standard English expression is Nom de Plume.

Probably better. Nom de Plume is usually just for writing.

I don't think the term nom de guerre would be understood very much outside of France although it is a term used among some English speakers. A more widely understood term in the English-speaking world is pseudonymn.

nickname is a little different, because it's not used to hide anything. It's
an apodo. Nom de guerre, pseudomymn and alias imply something secretive.
