but it's not under her own name, it is a name that is close to her name. The account is suspected of being hers but as I understand it not proven to be hers.

So that seems a good practice to me - use a name that could be arguably yours so that you are not hiding anything if caught out but enough not yours so there is plausible deniability. Then make a bunch of deeper cover names that you run that are harder to pin on you, if anyone is looking they are looking at the one that is close to your name.

but then maybe I've just read too many books.

Bit strange to do it under a name that is close to your name
