Although, IMHO, something's still fishy. At the very least, Alchemy would be named "Albert Desmond" rather than Julian Albert. Remember how Reverse-Flash ended up Eobard Thawne after all, despite seemingly being the original character Harrison Wells at first? Something I could see is that his actual family name is Desmond and he changed it to distance himself from the people he doesn't fit in with for.... some reason.
