The name that woman gave him now feels wrong to his ears, even though it’s the name he’s been going by all his life. Now that he knows Claudia is his real mother, and not that woman who had stolen him and raised him, he wonders what name she would have given him had she been given the chance to.

He won’t use the name the woman masquerading as his mother called him; he will never know what Claudia would have called him; his brother may be willing to maintain the name of Jacob that that woman had given him, but he feels like he has no name at all.
