an interesting counter example to the name argument is that a whole lot of ahadis in shia literature, including a lot of non-flattering ones for certain sahaba are narrated by a guy named Muawiyah. obviously he wouldnt be favourably disposed towards the muawiyah, but just goes to show that it takes a certain number of generations before a name is automatically associated with a prominent personality.
