I hated my old name, so no, I had no attachment to it but that is me. Honor your feelings, they are trying to tell you something about that choice. Honor them and validate them and they will stop bothering you.

I have to laugh at part of your question because sometimes when I had to sign my name, I had to stop for a second and remember what it was, LOL
