== Name Creation ==

There are many ways to get a new identity.  Many begin with picking a name.  You could make up your own name.  You can do this by finding a [[Name Relation]] to your name.  This is probably the best way to do it.  Suppose your name is Michael Wang (no relation to anyone)  then you could change your name to Mickey Gnaw.  Nobody would know the diiference.  You would need to change most of your documents in order to do this.  You might need to get another driver's license and/or passport⏎
It differs from [[identity theft]] in that the new identity is not one previously existing.
