absolutely legal from a mail perspective
the USPS is expected to deliver mail to the address regardless of the name. You can legally make up as many names as you like on whatever parcels and letters you like and if the address is formatted properly they are _ supposed to deliver it_
There are also hundreds of thousands of postal carriers and not all of them do what they are supposed to do every day. Some bend the rules in your favor (i have read of rural carriers illegally discarding junk mail on behalf of their routes) and some might give you a hard time because they don't understand the rules. If you have mail not being delivered due to the name you will have to bring it up with a manager at your local branch.
Yeah, I've mailed stuff to people and written their online user names and they've been delivered. According to one person their mail person was judgey over it but did deliver it. But it would depend on the mail person I suppose.
