The idea reminds me of superheroes going by different names as superheroes than their personal names. Traditionally this is because of secret identities but in the MCU, most of the heroes don’t have secret identities.
In my opinion, Batman’s true identity is Batman and Bruce Wayne is the disguise, but for most heroes their personal name is their true self and the superhero is the disguise
In my opinion, the name you use at home would be your true self and the name you use at work would be the disguise because most people put on a professional persona at work and don’t behave naturally. It would ultimately depend on the individual though, some people might feel more like their true selves at work than outside work

“Oh we’re using our made up names. I’m Spiderman”
Which one is the real identity and which one is the secret identity: workName or homeName?
In my opinion, Batman’s true identity is Batman and Bruce Wayne is the disguise, but for most heroes their personal name is their true self and the superhero is the disguise
Also true for Superman. He can’t change who he is, a superhero. However, he can disguise himself as Clark Kent.
But back to the original question. If you’re Robin at work and Samantha at home, which one is the secret identity?
In my opinion, the name you use at home would be your true self and the name you use at work would be the disguise because most people put on a professional persona at work and don’t behave naturally.
