My DBA calls his column names something different than how our code uses the table data (e.g. description vs product name). I’m wondering if I have a complex type in the Entity Framework, is it possible to give a property an alias?

You can name the property as you want and simply map the database field to that property. Name of properties are not dependent on names of related database columns.
