Seraphim, Mercurians, and True Names

Although the person who pointed out that a demon could be named Fred is technically correct, the chances are good that a celestial will have a name that's out of the ordinary, and very good that even if he's named David, Paul, Marcus, Alexander, Margaret, etc. (in other words, good Biblical or Greek names still in use today), it will not be the name he's using publicly -- which will at least clue someone in that he's using an alias. Of course, if the person being resonated is a Seraph, he will be using his true name, so it won't help.

One thing I do IMC with Mercurian resonances: the resonance says "what most people call you," and many angels (and demons) with Roles use their Role name almost exclusively no matter who they're talking to -- especially if they work with Soldiers a lot or are concerned with security. This means that the Mercurian resonance will get the name "Leo" or "Sally" if that's what most people do call them, even if they have another name for formal purposes.
