For me that's the acid test: whatever it says on your passport is your real name.

Here in Ireland we can translate our name in Irish and use that. I did that once for my passport. So I've had 2 different names on my passport without going to the deed poll, getting married, etc. all legally. What would be my 'real name' then?

(For the record the 2 string have a levenshtein distance of 10, so they are dissimmilar)
