"A person is called three names: One that his father and mother call him, one that others call him, and one that he is called in the chronicle of his life."
(Midrash, Kohelet Rabbah 7:3)
Alternatively:
A person is called three names: One that his father
and mother call him, one that others call him, and one that he acquires for
himself. The best of them is the one that he acquires for himself.
(Midrash Tanchuma, Vayyakhel 1)
