Just found this small hint in Apples Tip of the Day section

Quote:

Do you find it as annoying as I do that Mac OS X adds the word â ��œaliasâ �� � every time you create an alias? (I know, previous versions of the Mac OS did that as well, and it annoyed me there too.) Well, you can bypass the â ��œadding-the-word-aliasâ �� � uglies altogether by holding the Option and Command keys and clicking-and-dragging the original file outside the Finder window itâ �� ��s currently in (I usually just drag mine to the desktop).

This creates an alias without the word â ��œaliasâ �� � attached. (Note: Donâ �� ��t worry, youâ �� ��ll still know itâ �� ��s an alias, because its icon will have a tiny arrow at the bottom left-hand corner.)
