Could this be a possible sign of my past life?

When I was in kindergarten I had a hard time writing my name and I don't know why. It was always something vastly different from what my name actually was. I remember my parents told me they went to my school's open house and were trying to find my drawing that was put up on the wall. The teacher had to tell them which one was mine and the name Hamad was written on it.

Earlier in the year I was doing something with past lives with a friend who reads tarot cards. Oddly enough the physical description that was coming through matches someone from the middle east. Even the region the cards were showing was in that general direction.

I wonder if it's somehow connected.
