Okay, the only thing I can think of is Gollum/Smeagol:
Who am I and what is my name? - problems with the split personality and thus also the name
A chap had the same, - thinking back to the time he was Smeagol, thinking of this as another person
long long ago. - had been quite some time
Who am I and what is my name?
I played the great game, - this fits nicely here with the riddle-game played against Bilbo, it is described as ancient and powerful or something similar
and did I win? No! - he didn't
Who am I and what is my name?
Despite my great fame, - he would become quite famous through the stories about the War of the Ring and had been known to many before
The first you can't know. - few knew his initial identity as a hobbit
Well, I can't think of anything else right now, so hopefully I'm right this time.
