Question

When speaking on radio stations, can a female say that her name is 'Amatullah' and can a male say his name is 'Abdullah' if they want to remain anonymous?

Answer

A person may say that he or she is Abdullah or Amatullah since we are all servants of Allah.

However, deception should not be the motive behind this.
