No one who saw his records would be likely to make any connection between Lee and the grandfather he didn't even remember . For some reason , though , Lee had needed to make his first name his own . It was simply something Lee needed to do to feel that he had his own identity . Now , there were probably only two people alive in the universe who knew his first name was actually Leland . 
Question: Why weren't there many people who knew his real name ?
He kept it hidden because he was embarassed .
