A curator colleague who started work well before me had an introductory session on his first day with the rather patrician Deputy Director. "I see your name is Michael" said the DD, "and we already have one Michael on the staff. It will be so confusing - would you mind if we called you John?"
Fortunately, his original identity remained intact, and confusion seemed to be avoided, even though later yet another Michael joined.
