Is it legal in the US to get mail delivered to your chosen name when you haven't changed it legally?

I never, ever use my real name for mail if I can help it.

Every piece of mail is scanned. There's a service you can sign up for to see the scans of your mail before it's delivered. I don't know what is done with that data whether or not I am signed up for that service (I'm not).

Why do I care? I don't know. General security practice. Costs me nothing, obfuscates just a bit of the data that's collected by me. Obviously useless.

But yeah, it doesn't matter. Definitely not illegal. Never had a mail carrier give a shit.
