Let's say you have Mary Smith who you knew as a child and then moved away and
you lost touch. She got married to Brad Jones and is now Mary Jones.
Someone could say:

So... Jack2 (which was known as jackdmp at the time) was not planned...
Jack2 (which was then known as jackdmp) was not planned...

Something like that. Hope it helps. English sure is a world of fun. (I have an

Mood.
Wood.
Blood.

Hahaha :D
native English speaking people should empathize with the rest of the
community, e.g. better than the usage of "then" would have been "back
then" or "before then". Btw. my English is terrible broken, but I did
understand - still do understand - the "then" correctly, because I
wasn't emotional involved in this specific part of the discussion.
Language is a funny virus.
On German, my native language, I had flame wars when writing, but when
having phone calls with the same people everything was fine again,
because it just were misinterpretations of the way we used or language.
Not least because I'm a dyslexic, but because the written word in all is
problematic, I love the language called music.
