All of my alters have very distinct names... they were using them way before ever dignosed as MPD or DID 23 years ago..yes.. it was very confusing at doctors.. dentists.. "I" didn't understand.. why... the different names.. why I would do that...not until therapy.. did I understand.. why all my life.. I had all these names.. and why I insisted that they were my names....

This subject came... up recently... with the body memory T...and he said "I am unsure what to call you"... by x.. or xy... and my response is.. if I am xy... and you call me x.. it is highly insulting...it would be like if I called you...Mary... when your name is Jane...
and I of course added...that he couldn't know "who" I was by looks.. though.. if he knew me well.. he would know by the clothes..and the way I sit...

anyway.. the lesson in "self worth"... was I should be allowed "my name"... as in an alter should be allowed her name and to be called by it...as it is important...it implies.. that I have self worth.. the way I am...
