Deserters and Re-enlistment

Has anyone heard accounts of Confederate deserters who changed their names upon enlisting in new units? Or, for that matter, men who took the oath and changed their names when enlisting in a new unit? Perhaps they were left off muster rolls. It seems that both classes of soldiers would have motivation to disguise their identity.
