My name is mine but dosent feel like it

Does anyone like feel strangely disconnected from their name? I was born with the name Ella and I like my name, everyone calls me it, yk im just Ella. But everytime I think of my name like in almost a like different perspective my name dosent feel like me. Its what everyone calls me but I just feel so strangely feel disconnected from my name, like yhere is a huge wall between the person I am and my name.

Hearing my dead name just makes me feel almost trapped and miserable but yeah I've been there before, but... DON'T FEEL ASHAMED OF CHANGING A NAME THAT REPRESENTS U🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥

I felt like this for sooo long when I started high school! ended up going by so many different names until settling back to my name a couple of years ago. I am not sure what had me so disconnected to it, I am thinking perhaps poor mental health, identity exploring, & whatever else I had going on at the time. hopefully you are able to either find a name you feel connected to or figure out what is causing you to feel disconnected with your name!🍀

I haven't used my real name in so long if I hear it I am very confused and like 'who is that?'
