Docker: Create Multiple Names for a container

Question

We used to run docker images to create the respective container with a custom name using --name flag as below.

docker run --name=randome-test3 -d  random-q:v0.1

When I list the containers

trivia_docker docker container ls -l
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS               NAMES
1a89e35aacb5        random-q:v0.1       "/bin/bash /code/ran…"   9 minutes ago       Up 9 minutes                            testing

Here field says Names, so just with curiosity, is it possible to give multiple names to a container?

Yes, you can specify different names for your container to add it into multiple docker networks.
