HandEFood is clearly something of a Riddle and Puzzle king.
Have you come across this one? Written in the 18th century by Horace Walpole (son of British PM Sir Robert Walpole). A bit old fashioned in tone of course, but still very clever. I failed to work it out, looked it up, and then kicked myself for cheating and not trying for longer.
Before my birth I had name,
But soon as born I changed the same;
And when I'm laid within the tomb,
I shall my father's name assume.
I change my name three days together,
Yet live but one in any weather.

Very good Kris, but I must humbly admit I would have never figured out the answer to this riddle.
