Hello native speakers and passionate english learners!

Hence of my writing is about one word called denomination.I misunderstood and couldn’t bear in my mind sadly.That’s why i decided to ask for help from you.I created/made up some sentences as much as i could, but i am still not sure , that my sentences are spot on

They are:
1.He is known under denomination of Alice
2.The denomination of this street is Abai Kunanbayev,who was the best poetry ever in Kazakh story and was cream of the crop comparing with his contemporaries
3.The custom ,,Kuda tusy’’ denominated as an agreement between bride’s and fiancee’s parents

I'm sorry, but I don't understand your sentence. What do you mean by "undet?" That's not a word in English. Also, can you tell us -- using other words -- what you want your sentence to mean,and in what situation you would say it? We'll be happy to help, once we understand.
Can you read again ,I pushed the button suddenly

The word denomination does not fit any of those contexts. In 1. and 2. the much more common word “name” is more appropriate, and I don’t even know what 3. means.

In my experience, if the word denomination is used at all, it’s in one of these senses:

1. A branch of Christianity to which a person or a church belongs. For example (in the UK): Anglican, Roman Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, etc.

2. The monetary value of a particular banknote or coin (or postage stamp). For example: a £20 note, a $10 bill, a 50¢ coin, a €2 coin.

3. The value (rather than the suit) of a playing card. For example: an ace, a two, a ten, a Jack.

The use of the word "denominate" to mean"give a name to" or "designate" is fairly uncommon, and the noun form --"denomination" -- is not used that way at all,as lingobingo has explained.
