Captains have already, as early as in ME2, let humans live on their ships. In ME2, or before, Cerberus attacked a quarian liveship to recover a biotic(?) refugee hiding there and that is why Tali and Cerberus hates each other. Miranda talks about it when she meets Tali on Horizon and Tali first when helping her during her trial. So humans can, appearently, stay at the quarians. The thing is to figure out if they can integrate into their doctrines and be given a quarian ship name without breaking the lore.
I just can't see any reason for it being a good 'lie'. I mean, she should have been screened and it's in her name. Lying about that and using that as her name should have gotten her rejected. OTOH, 'unofficial' ambassadors that lived on a ship.. I could see the captain extending the naming convention, especially if they've done good deeds for the fleet.

Possible lore-breakage aside.
Could just be she is of some importance if we ever get to see the Quarian ark.
So a plot device (which often disregard game lore).

Who said anything about lying to the Initiative? She might just identify herself like that for whatever reason. Maybe she had some brain damage and she's now the local village idiot.
Not saying it's the most likely scenario but who knows what could be going on here? It's not the first time a character identifies him/herself with another name than their real name in a game.
For all we know there was something planned with her that they forgot or didn't have time for. I'm just saying there could be more than just two ways to explain this.
