Giving a property two identifiers for deserializing JSON

I'm deserializing JSON into an object with JavaScriptSerializer in C#.

The object has the following properties:

public string plugin_name { get; set; }
public string slug { get; set; }
public string description { get; set; }
public string logo_full { get; set; }
public string[] categories { get; set; }
public Version[] versions { get; set; }

The thing is that the names (e.g. plugin_name) don't follow the usual naming guidelines (pascal case). Is there any simple way that I can give a property two identifiers? Or is there anything else that could help me achieve what I want. I'm aware that I could do this:

public string PluginName { get; set; }
public string plugin_name { set { PluginName = value; } }

But is there any simpler and cleaner solution to this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Per this documentation, you can add an attribute to assist in this mapping instead of having to create this redirect:

[JsonProperty("plugin_name")]
public string PluginName{get;set;}

But, as pointed out, this is specific to Json.NET. Is it possible for you to use that instead?
