Everyone has a name, but some people are known by more than one. I 'm one of them. Many people do have nickname. Some people are popularize in collage by some funny name or some people known by some name tag in work place. It happen to many people, it's not our official name but sometimes our friend and family recognized by that name.
Sometimes people do change names like if you have a maiden name, a different married name or are otherwise known by more than one name at that time people do try to search you by that name and it's possible that because of different name you want appear in the search, or sometimes people confused by your name because they do not know you by the name you're using but know you by the nick name? possible.
Like wise my name is Aniruddh but my close friends call me "Ani". In work place people do call me Andy. My mom called me by different Nike name and same time in my family some people called me with a different nick name.
Till now, I could only show one name in my Facebook account. This made it difficult for all of my friends to connect with me. I've even received messages from old friends asking who I was before they would approve my friend request because they didn't recognize my name, even though the profile photo looked familiar to them.
