&gt; You seem to think that people have this single thing which is their name - that might be true in the US (I dunno) but it&#x27;s not true in many other places.<p>Even people with one &quot;real name&quot; may have slight variations on it that they use. Many people use their nickname and don&#x27;t show their middle name. If your name isn&#x27;t written in Latin script, you might have the original script version and a romanised version, possibly even more than one romanised version. If you&#x27;re Chinese, you might have a Western name alias which you&#x27;re known by professionally.
