Pseudonym, perhaps?
AFAIK in the normal timeline, Daniel didn't know (or barely knew) Widmore and had a pretty strained relationship w/ Eloise. Unsurprising he took a different name. I don't think a real reason was ever given, though - probably just a plot device or w/e; it would be pretty obvious that Daniel was Widmore or Hawking's son if he came on the show as "Daniel Hawking" or "Daniel Widmore."
