What Is My Real Name
Once here on italki I was asked if Peter is my real name. I answered that I just had translated my name to English to simplify things. But a pair days ago I had to glance at my documents and suddenly was engrossed to thoughts. In my birth evidence I was named "Пётр", in my passport I am "Петр", on my bank card - "PETR" and in my foreign passport - "PYOTR". And I still don't know what name is more real, maybe I guessed right and "Peter" is my most true name?
