In organization chart data, there are people with cute names (John, Jane) and there are positions with descriptive names (Head of Product, Head of Sales).

People's responsibilities change but their cute name does not. But you might not know everyone's cute name, and you want to know who to talk to when something was sold that can't be fulfilled. So you look up Head of Sales in the org chart.

Perhaps having two names is what is needed as in organization charts.
