Can you stick to a single name when you present yourself to the community? We've seen a patch signed off by "Mansi", sent from a person with e-mail accout "Mansi Singh" via GitGitGadget, and now an introduction sent by "Mansi Maanu", signed "Mansi", identifying hearself as "Mansi Singh".

It is a bit too confising.

I presume that "Mansi Singh" is the most official name you want to present yourself as to this community? If so, please use that as the author identity and on the Signed-off-by: line of your patches.

Anyway, welcome to the community.
