A'rklonn's name is like that. He's a character I move from game to game, and I do change the lore behind him to match games I'm in at times, but I always keep his name. This version of him, his actual real name is shrouded by him in the belief that names give power. As a magus, this is a pretty common thing. Not only that, his family name, Sargonnai, is a corruption of his *actual* Ishgardian born name. He changed it when he removed himself from his family and claimed the name for himself, by altering it. His first name on his nameplate is just one I've always used for him, but he has a real first name that's lore-compliant that's nothing like it, so it basically is an alias. And that's how he introduces himself. I think there's maybe three or four people in game that know his real last name, and only his wife knows his real first name.
If people get upset that your nameplate isn't your character's real name, ask them why it matters since it's not like their character would know anyway. As long as it's not like. zzCloudxStrifezz or something like that, I don't see what their problem would be.
