It's just occured to me how unusual it is for someone to be unsure of their own name, or to be considered two different people, for that matter.
<p>
My parents forenames are Rosina and Lindsay so I was christened with the name Roselyn, which somehow morphed to Roselynne over the years. But no one ever seemed to be able to pronounce or spell my name correctly, so I changed it to [rozallin], because people call me Roz anyway and there are only two ways of saying it as opposed to many.
<p>
I'm planning on changing my name to my name by deedpoll when I turn 18 because some of my official documents are under R. Thompson, and some are under my father's surname (because my parents weren't married at the time I was born, so I took my mother's ex-husband's surname, and then unofficially changed my name to my father's surname when I went to school to stop me from being teased).
