You forgot, once the Spell Lock is activated it cannot be removed
from the target without breaking the spell. It would then need to be

Ancient cultures believed that names held great power, personal names
more so and they were guarded very closely. To protect themselves, they
answered to another name, because if another discovered their real name,
it could be used against them.
