When I entered kindergarten, I was very disruptive and non-cooperative with the teacher. They thought I may have had learning/psychological issues and I went through a battery of tests... It turned out the reason was that my mom had registered me under my english name - Harold, which I never knew was my name as I knew myself only as Hershie, which is my "yiddish" name and at that age you identify yourself by your name and not as an individual so I must have flipped out until they gave me back Hershie.
