It's not easy finding yourself in a world you weren't made for. But nothing truly worthwhile is easy, a lesson Spike knows all too well. Tags to be added as necessary.

Jeez, it's that far back?
Met nobody, huh? Sunset might not be the right time to do it... but we'll see. Sunset is both in a terrible place and... given the wholeheartedness of her redemption, somewhere close to that, maybe.
I wonder why he gave her a different name, though.
Wow. That explains the change in, Twilght's, memories of the human world and why, Rarity, didn't know, Sunset Shimmer.
About to re-write Equestria Girls! Let's go!

If you haven't already worked it out, the mirror has suffered a "system malfunction" and has kicked Spike out into it's past, a short time before Sunset arrives.
This is why Twilight is at Crystal Prep and has the "wrong" dog, and why none of the others know what they would know in the present day.
Why the false name? Spike is "Genre savvy" and has almost instantly guessed that this is "past" Sunset, fresh from her split with Princess Celestia. He gave her the false name after working out who she is and realising when he is!

Yes, I am aware that he was sent back in time and details were changed. And that he realized that this is Sunset fresh from leaving Equestria.
But that doesn't directly explain why he didn't give her his real name. The name Spike would mean nothing to her. Spike wasn't hatched yet in Equestria. I suppose it's to make him harder to track down in the human world, because he doesn't trust her?

The name thing....
.... this quote implies that the friendly, nice Sunset Shimmer (from after the films) knows Spike by name?
Spike is seeing a/the past version of Sunset. Perhaps Spike doesn't want to risk time going "strange" with a paradox or something.
Spike knows that he and Twilight have met Sunset already (from his perspective). How many times was Spikes name mentioned in the first film where Sunset (or her minions) could have heard?
All he'd need would be Sunset linking the name of her "boyfriend" to the dog Twilight has with her for a paradox to occur...
film-Spike: "No! Stop! I don't have the crown any more!"
film-Sunset: "I'm not after the crown.... you heartbreaker!! You d..d.. dumped meee! Waaaah!"
Or even worse! In her first scene in the film Sunset upgrades from crown theft to..... Murder!! After all Sunset might not realise about the time travel, and assume Twilight has stolen her boyfriend as well as her "rightful place"!
Hmmm! Just had another idea.
Perhaps Spike has decided it's just too risky to jump through right now, if he did he might be in the past over there (with Canterlot Castle on alert after an assault on the Princess and two guards).
Spike's plan? Take the "long road" and live in the background of the films. He just has to hide until he "hits the gap" between his and Twilights last visit and the mirror break.
He can then reveal himself to Sunset as Spike and swear her to secrecy. Spike can even sneak back through the mirror then if he times it correctly (he is the one most likely to know when the castle would be empty).
