You can add more than one name to your pgp key.  For instance, since I
have several valid e-mail addresses, but I want to use the same key
at all sites (no use having 6 different keys!), there is a PGP option
to add another name to your key.  Thus, it will correctly respond to
either "Brian White ..." or "Brian C. White...".  To tell PGP to add
another name, try using 
pgp -ke bcwhite
And add in your new name.  

Hope this works.
