Mine were all the same me. Just had to get to the point of not giving a shit what someone would find by googling me. My first Medium name was Yochanan Gregorius. Yochanan is my Hebrew name. From an early piece of mine:

"I was born February 15, 1967, to Nancy and David. My given names are Gregory and Yôḥānān (my Hebrew name — means God is Gracious — a taxi driver in Israel told me that it is a rare and special name — Yonatan being the more common form of Jonathan, which means God has given — duh, God gives everything — God is Gracious is me giving back gratitude to God).

I used to think my Hebrew name was Yôḥānān Liba (beloved). I realize as I type that was simply part of the generic sentence “… beloved son of… . ” Before sparking my life, and thousands of previous lives, my soul’s name was Marcus. From this moment forward until my next incarnation, by the Grace of God, I declare that my Universal Name is “Yôḥānān Gregorius, DNA from Nancy and David, ignition of cell-division and so much of who I am from Marcus and Marcus’ lives before this one, nurture by Nancy, and much thanks to all my friends and loved ones, who will please continue to call me Greg;” but as no light is too bright for my eyes, the nickname Shades is gone.

It no longer matters what my name is. I know that I am I, here, and later in heaven, regardless of how anyone addresses me."
