However as to someone's right to have a bank account in another name, I
would be extremely surprised if any bank entertained this, unless you
had documents identifying you as the named person.

It is perfectly possible to have two bank accounts in two different names.
My partner has exactly this - though one is in her (former) married name
(which is what she usually uses) and the other in her otherwise unused
maiden name. The latter was only opened a year or two ago. The bank did
want some documentary evidence of this and that. (Is this what you meant
about the documents identifying you as the named person?) I doubt that I
would express it as any form of 'right' to do this.

I that dIMM meant any old name you choose, rather than a maiden name
which you would have some documentary evidence for. Money laundering law
requirements I guess.

AIUI the money laundering stuff just wants you to be able to prove you
really are who you say you are. The bank just wants to be pretty sure
that they or the authorities will be able to find you if the need
arises. What gets printed in the cheque book or what name the account
will accept payments in is seperate and much less controlled.
