175 and sometimes would use that name in lieu of their given name...but yet, while still retaining full memory and recognition of their real self. (have also read of a number of famous people that I suspect of being mind controlled who do this as well, casually talking about their +4 a various alter egos who have their own names.) My brother (back when he was alive) had his alter-ego, “Shawn Hill”, and mentioned a couple of incidents back when he lived in Connecticut where petty criminal stuff happened, and it seemed like he probably did it - as Shawn Hill - buuuut...he couldn’t remember doing it...necessarily. It seemed like he had a vague recollection of being there and doing those things, but, it was so hazy... Talking to him on the phone back in 1998 or 1999, he told me that he didn’t want to be called Joe anymore. He wanted to be called Shawn. His new name was Shawn Hill. I laughed nervously, like, Ohhh-kay. “Well, I’m not going to call you Shawn. You’re Joe to me. Your name is Joe.” His whole demeanor during that call was short and brusque, and he was even less amused by my refusal to acknowledge this “overwrite” persona named Shawn Hill. But notice that he never lost awareness of Joe. Even though he was in Shawn Hill character, he still knew full well who Joe was, and Joe, when being Joe, was fully aware that there was this “Shawn Hill” running around doing things he could only vaguely remember. That’s not true multiple personality disorder. But it’s definitely something. And multiple personas, or personality overwrites seem like a good way of explaining it. And my ex-boyfriend that I mentioned, (whose dad happened to be former NSA) also had an alternate name that he’d occasionally use for himself, “Scott.” When we were out in public he’d give his name as Scott. It never struck me as being anything too weird, just some funny thing he liked to do. But, then there was the fact that he experienced memory black outs where entire chunks of things he did, conversations he’d had, were gone. It was like he may as well have never done those things. And then the most telling incident that I witnessed with him occurred three years into the relationship (when the relationship was dead anyway) and tipped me off that there was an issue, and it was when he split off in mid-conversation. One second we were having a light hearted exchange, the next...his face changed, went blank. Not only did he not remember what he’d just said a second earlier, but he completely denied even having the entire conversation we’d just been having.
