premise: No one who saw his records would be likely to make any connection between Lee and the grandfather he did n'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 . Why were n't there many people who knew his real name ?
hypothesis: He wanted to be known as Leland only .
