And if you take it away, then there is nothing holding you together.
Perhaps a more apt description would be that one's name is more like a lock. It's in place to keep everything about you safe - your spirit, your essence, your memories . . . while it can't keep everything out, the more the lock is bypassed or opened by someone else, the stronger it becomes.
In taking your names, that lock has been removed entirely.
