If I did top or htop then it will display current running process.

I want to display the process names by with some other names and not with original name.

For example even Firefox running I want display in top as icefox or waterfox in top or htop .like that how can I do in Ubuntu?

Thank you.

I don't understand why you would want to do this, but if it's just for the sake of curiosity then a quick and dirty

top | sed 's/firefox/whatever/'

appears to work, at least for the default top output - but you should not rely on it being a robust solution.
