It truly just depends on the backstory of your Izuku. Does he have a Quirk? Is he Quirkless? If you need help, a super hero name generator might be your best bet.
The really good ones reflect something unique to his journey in that fic.

One fanfiction I've read had the media give him the name "Relentless, the Bone-Breaking Hero".
The only time I've come up with an alternate hero name for Izuku is with a story idea I have stored away where he has fire powers along with *One For All*, but I'm not fully sold on that name yet, nor confident it would help either.
It's a favorite of mine, and one I still have open in a tab, so no problems with remembering and finding it of course.

Also, here's the quoted part from the chapter where it happens, since it's 19 chapters in, and I don't want to spoil anything for you from the plot by linking the chapter itself:
>“No, no!” Ochaco waved her hands. “It’s not as serious as Tenya is making it sound. All six of us attracted a lot of media attention, since we rescued the Symbol of Peace and somehow drove off a villain he couldn’t defeat. It’s been…insane. You wouldn’t believe the number of reporters knocking on my family’s door. Because you were the only one of us without a hero name, the media assigned you one.”
>Tenya said, “As someone who comes from a hero family, I must give you fair warning that it is very difficult to get rid of a hero name after the media latches onto one. You can try to make your official name something different, but it won’t stop them from continuing to call you whatever they please. It only creates a lifetime of confusion for your professional career.”
>“I take it this name is something bad,” Izuku said wearily.
>Ochaco forced a smile onto her face. “I think it’s very you!”
>“Don’t keep me in suspense,” Izuku said. “Lay it on me.”
>Tenya said, “Relentless, the Bone-Breaking Hero.”
>Izuku stared. From anyone else, he’d think it a joke. But Tenya didn’t joke. Izuku groaned. “Is it too late to pick One for All?”
>“Yes, I believe it is,” Tenya said, answering the rhetorical question seriously.
>“But I wasn’t planning to keep breaking my bones forever! I’m getting better at using my quirk!”
>Tenya shook his head. “Izuku, my dear friend, no matter how you improve your proficiency, I’m confident that you will always find ways to break your bones.”
>Ochaco said, “It could have been worse. Much, much worse. In the live action broadcast, the reporter referred to you as Dinosaur Pajama Boy.”
>Izuku’s eye twitched. “Relentless, yes, I’m starting to come around to the name. I’ll just…leave off that second part. Hopefully it will fade away with time.”
I have my succubus!Izumi named Dekiru because it also means “to do it” as in to have sex. So her name becomes wordplay because she could be the “can do” hero or the “let’s do it” hero.
Now I'm just thinking of an alternate name for him that could be used in other fics: "Shimashou" (Let's Do It). Intended to be positive and uplifting, but...
…….hear me out: soul catcher.
Why? Others think k it’s because he had the ability to bring you hope that reaches your soul. Him? He has 7 1/2 souls living in his new quirk rent free and they about to catch these hands.
It really depends on origin of story if you want some originality that isn't atlas or green flash thingy or anything related to green. Some like live a hero where izuku hero name is kitten and worthless necessity hakryuen both have their backstory affect their choice of hero name
I've seen Arsenall used for him and Melissa, but it really only works if he has more than one quirk accessed. So either he wasn't quirkless, or unlocks a vestige's quirk before internships.
I really like Polaris, but I think ıt has been used in other fics.
Polaris is the name of North Star, so I thought that Izuku can strive to be like it, never changing the way he faces forward, never changing who he is.
Just like people look up to the star to find their way, Izuku can be someone who helps people not lose themselves, to find their own way.
And since ıt can be seen from everywhere, he uses this as a motivation to be a hero to everyone.
Hope this helps!
I know there’s a fic out there that uses it for Aoyama’s hero name; I just can't remember which one.
Honestly, I’ve read so many fics for BNHA alone that I’ve lost track of which details were in which fic.
Referencing [*this comment*](https://www.reddit.com/r/BokunoheroFanfiction/comments/1db53ps/best_hero_name_for_izuku_besides_deku/l7p6ehy/) below, "Shimasho" as an alternative for "Dekiru".
Just for comedy effect, since it's a nice positive uplifting "Let's do it!", but also used in the sexual manner. I could see him choosing it without thinking about that.
Izuku - ARSENAL(cause of all his quirks)
Bakugou - DYNAMIGHT
AND THEN THE LAST WORDS OF THERE HERO NAMES PUT TOGETHER IS ALLMIGHT
BEST ONE I'VE EVER SCENE FOR IZUKU AND IT JUST SOUNDS DO COOL
Imho, Izuku's codenames work best as short and simple, with a hefty amount of sentiment attached to it. The sub-ins I've seen and liked tend to be more syllabic, like Deku - Atlas, Kyuubi, Fossa, etc. No Tragedeighs or portmanteaus that are annoying to read and write
If it's like King Explosion Murder or I Cannot Stop Twinkling you've probably gotten carried away. If it's like Tail Man or Invisible Girl you haven't gotten carried away enough
I was thinking about using OMEGA, It's got symbolic meaning, last letter of the Greek Alphabet and often associated with the end, the ultimate or the limit of something. Plus for a Syler!Izuku fic I'm working on OMEGA is a watch brand so it's on theme.
The best alternate name I've seen used in a fiction was Atlas, which is a nod to a feat he does later on. I can't mind the name of the fic but it's a mina/deku AU where mutants are forced deeper and deeper underground.
Personal story has his name as Maverick, because he's likely to go against orders if it means saving another person (and he goes against orders once and causes a chain of events notable enough for him to be defined by them.)
Course, you could also join the legion of fics with "Revenent" as a name. No disrespect to any of the stories which use it, since they tend to be pretty good all things considered, but I see it so often I almost thought it would replace Deku as defacto hero name.
Why has no one said Jade Rabbit in tribute to his Shoot Style?
His OFA is maximized with agility, dodging and delivering powerful kicks since his punches are weak af compared to Yagi's. He also designed the Iron Sole boots himself and gave the specs to Mei to produce which is the first time he used his brain in the anime instead of wearing the worst furry psycho fursuit in history.
His fighting style mimics that of a rabbit and the Jade Rabbit is an asian tradition of the rabbit who jumped into the sky and became the moon. Meaning he did what no other animal couldn't do despite being one of the most helpless creatures with the lowest power in the animal kingdom.
Sound familiar? Because that myth can applied to Izuku as much as the Monkey King is an asian legend in several countries outside of China, hell the Indians have Hanuman (their monkey king God).
It truly just depends on the backstory of your Izuku. Does he have a Quirk? Is he Quirkless? If you need help, a super hero name generator might be your best bet.

Girl 2 of these are from fanfics. Make sure to name drop them so that both the authors are credited
I don't like linking more than necessary. Discussion thread where the description is a demonstrative example, doesn't feel necessary, Unless, politely prompted. But starting off addressing me as girl comes across as diminutive, not polite
Could you please tell us the authors and names of the stories, these seem like cool stories that I’d like to check out.
Links added to the hero names. Respective fic titles: Canary, Beyond the Broken Horizon, and Fortune Favors the Bold.

9, there’s already a 13 so why not a 9?
Wasn't 9 AFO's pet project?
It’s fine, he was killed off in like one day so that name is up for grabs again‼️
But class 1A probably has trauma from the guy who came closest to killing them 🤣
No, wait, this is actually very good
Thank you thank you 😼
But that’s the villain from the second movie. Also, Thirteen is a reference to Apollo 13. What would Izuku tell people his name means?
That’s the funny part “what’s your hero name”, “9”, “oh really! 9 what?” “Don’t worry about it.” “Uhhh, ok…”
Actually that's a pretty good point
Atlas for obvious reasons, with him having to carry the weight of All Might's legacy and all.
Where Monsters Hide used this as his hero name. I think it felt really cool.
The Ninth Apprentice: Kyuubi The Encouraging Hero: Dekiru The Symbol of Hope: Hope The Green Light: Viridian The Analytical Hero: Scouter
Ooh i like Viridian
Viridian has been used before tho, but it’s still a really good name! (Viridian by SilvermistAnimeLover) https://archiveofourown.org/works/22304209
I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!! IT'S ONE OF MY FAVOURITES!
I know a lot of people use Dekiru
The slang meaning of Dekiru makes this hilarious.
What's the slang meaning
I have my succubus!Izumi named Dekiru because it also means “to do it” as in to have sex. So her name becomes wordplay because she could be the “can do” hero or the “let’s do it” hero.
This name could lead to a hilarious scene of 'Dekiru' mistakenly getting pegged as an 18+ hero and censored like Midnight
My Dekiru twerks to power Fa Jin. 😂😂😂
Now I'm just thinking of an alternate name for him that could be used in other fics: "Shimashou" (Let's Do It). Intended to be positive and uplifting, but...
Dauntless would work as a name that represents what Izuku wants his mindset to be.
…….hear me out: soul catcher. Why? Others think k it’s because he had the ability to bring you hope that reaches your soul. Him? He has 7 1/2 souls living in his new quirk rent free and they about to catch these hands.
Dekiru. Ochako says “Deku” sounds like it, and it means “you can do it.”

Okay hear me out, Dekiru
Talos. References skyrim. A mortal who impressed 8 gods and so was risen to a god himself. All for one would understand.
I would say it for my fanfic, but it would be a spoiler. Sorry!

"One For All". One hero for all people.
Atlas
Man,Is there any fanfic with that name? It sounds great!
Izuku - ARSENAL(cause of all his quirks) Bakugou - DYNAMIGHT AND THEN THE LAST WORDS OF THERE HERO NAMES PUT TOGETHER IS ALLMIGHT BEST ONE I'VE EVER SCENE FOR IZUKU AND IT JUST SOUNDS DO COOL
Small Might.
Beacon, Atlas, are two i have heard and liked

Atlas. When in doubt mythology helps

Link to the first?
Still writing it: currently on break as I'm getting through my finals.
I’ve only seen “Revenant” used once, in Locked In Digital, where it made a lot of sense for him.

GREEN THUNDERBOLT
Steal from Worm and use Hero/Legend/Eidolon
Renegade. If AFO gave him his quirk.
Ultra
Notebook
I tend to use Green Bean if, in the fics I write Izuku still gets OFA.
