This is a really interesting question that I never really associated with my family of origin issues before. I changed my name in the 5th grade, had my teachers all change it in the books and everything. I honestly do not even know why, I don't even like the name I picked at the time.

Around this same time my 5th grade teacher tried to reach out to me with what I can see now was obvious concern over my erratic behavior, it wasn't the first time the school contacted my parents questioning what things were like at home, but as with all the previous times nothing ever changed.

I have so few memories of my childhood, I hadn't ever really thought about that name change in this context before. Thanks for the food for thought!
