What was the name of Phoebe Buffay’s alter ego in Friends?

Phoebe Buffay’s recurring alter ego in Friends is Regina Phalange.

Regina Phalange is a fictional identity Phoebe invents for comic and practical purposes. She uses the name in several situations, often when she wants to create a distraction, impersonate someone, or make an absurd claim sound official.

The name is memorable because “phalange” resembles the anatomical term for a finger bone, while “Regina” sounds like an ordinary first name. Phoebe’s improvised confidence makes the alias funnier than the name itself, and the character returns to it as a running gag.

Phoebe later adopts another unusual name, Princess Consuela Banana-Hammock, after marrying Mike Hannigan. That is a separate married name and not the alter ego most associated with her repeated deceptions. Lisa Kudrow played Phoebe throughout the series.
