Good point. Fictional example:

William T. Riker was copied and his copy (hereafter "Thomas Riker") was abandoned all alone on a planet. Will Riker had friends and a career history since the copy, so for convenience Thomas Riker took the name "Thomas" and continued his old career where he left off.
