What is a term to replace one’s well-known name ? ] at one that tries to be funny without being pejoratively descriptive, different but similar enough that one’s audience can likely understand the replacement?

Usually, I tend to ===> use sobriquet don’t ==> believe this ==> explicitly implies funny as well ==> as insulting.

What is still a Moniker in an older graphic?

What is the English term for parody names of cities in reference to people?

How do you call it when the name/word is better known by a pejorative? I won’t cover the humor aspect.
