I want to alias an existing dyndns address

Following the instructions, I get the expected error:
This hostname already exists. It may be in use by another customer.
How do I bypass this issue?
Thanks

Now I tried to give a new 'shared domain' name: thruhere.net...

Running an updated ddclient (which uses berry314.girod.fi), I get now:

My only progress is that I understood that berry314.girod.fi is only an NS record, so that the certs should be attached to the A record, berry314.thruhere.net, but ddclient fails to give it an IP.
It keeps reporting that:
FAILED: updating berry314.thruhere.net: nohost: The hostname specified does not exist in the database
although https://account.dyn.com/dns/dyndns/?via=services-credited has:

Can somebody explain me the support's reply?
Our remote access service will not work with an SSL cert. You should get standard dns for your own domain and get an ssl for your own domain. Dynamic updates will be for your domain instead.
Thanks
