It is (interesting that is). The similarity of the two names is only visual as you suggested.
Why did I change my name in the first place? Well, my previous name is propably the 2nd most common surname in Finland. On a contrast to that there are only about 50 people alive who have the same surname as I currently have. And the best part is I did not need to alter my hand written signature at all ;-).
