The yearbook reflects the changes
If you contact them via Facebook I’m pretty sure they would put your suspicion to rest. But here’s where your theory has a problem, it’s unfalsifiable, if they say what are you talking about my name spelling never changed you’ll claim that it’s proof that they didn’t leap to the parallel world with you, yet if some other classmate agrees with you that they also think the name used to be spelled differently you’ll claim that it’s proof that that classmate did leap with you to the parallel world. Heads you win, tails you’re correct.

Hannah changed to Hanna

Amy changed to Aimee
That's consistent with your expectation being the most common form of the name so that you remember what you expect to be the spelling rather than the actual spelling. You can reduce the chances of this happening by asking for the spelling when you first hear a name and making a mental note if it's unusual in some way. Then, whenever you remember that person, make a point of thinking about their unusual name spelling.

You should learn about how memory works - it's fascinating and very useful.

When I was in my early teens I borrowed a book from the local library called "How to Develop a Super Power Memory", which I found very helpful. The ironic thing was that, for the first time in my book borrowing life, I forget to return it until I received an "book overdue" reminder.

Lol! Yes, I read quite a few of those 'how to have a great memory' books, and they all seemed to involve tedious techniques I could never remember to do, or wasn't any good at... having an ordinary memory that felt a little below average wasn't sufficient motivation to put in the effort for the advertised 'effortless' memory.

As I child, I was always hoping for some trick that would give me telekinetic or psychic powers, or some sort of special abilities. Looking for an easy way to a superior memory was probably the last gasp of that 'shortcut to be special and impress people' phase.

You don't have to improve your memory - simply state that you remember things differently and must have switched realities. Voilà, you just gave yourself the faultless memory you craved.

Enough…
In the reality I was in last Tuesday I remember you supported your position rather than running away in a huff, so I must have switched timelines.

Then I realised there is no reality where you'd do that, so it must have been a weird dream.
