Surely you could create a unique number for each name you introduce
yourself with, and keep that with both your character and with the
recipient of the name. That would keep the burden of the name keep-
ing with the player doing something weird like that.  Of course not
too many players would bother I would guess.. Keeping more than one
name for yourself is going to be hopelessly complicated, and enti-
rely pointless for anybody but a dedicated roleplayer.
