    Yes, it is possible to forget whatever you want including your own name. For that, you will need to realize so called sleepwalking hypnotic state. However, the memories may come back if the session was not done professionally. In the same way, you may recall something you forgot. Besides hypnosis, there are other techniques that may be helpful.

    Yes you can as long as that is ok with all of you, including your unconscious mind being in agreement.
