To clarify, I think you mean that both you and the
alternate continuation of you in the alternate
universe would have the nominal identity "John Clark,"
but that you would have different non-nominal
identities.
The two of you would continue diverging and evolving
into separate personalities. It would soon become
obvious (from a God's eye view of the multiverse) that
the two "John Clarks" are not the same non-nominal
identity even if they do share a common nominal
identity and some common memories.
The same would be true if your alternate continuation
lived here with you in this universe under a non-MWI
interpretation of QM. The two scenarios are equivalent
with respect to identity.
