My therapist did what I considered making up time on me. He'd start late, but finish on time. I was somewhat resentful.
In the end I just talked to him. I asked him how long a session was, what constituted the start, and what constituted the end. Then I told him that I felt like he was making up time on me, and it was making me angry. I still have to remind him now and again..
But not it isn't really a problem in our relationship. If I tell him it isn't time to stop yet, he sits back and prepares to listen. Of course, that ruins it and it ends anyway, but he remembers for some time after that. And he teases me about making up time, or I tease him. But it's a friendly thing, and I don't get so angry because I just tell him as it comes up.
If you wish to change your name, you just register like you did the first time, then announce on the Administration board that you used to post under a different name. It's not necessary to reveal the prior name unless you wish to.
Good luck. It sounds like a good relationship overall. In my experience, a few good frank but friendly discussions can make good relationships even better.
