"If you destroy an alias.."

If you stop using an alias then you no longer use it to refer to yourself. Using a diffrent name does not mean anything about you has changed except how you call yourself. Most of us are referred to by many names throughout the day. Pretending that the name has biological existence is laughable. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Shakespeare, I think. But what did he know! ;-)

A name REFERS to a thing...it is not the THING! Words are conceptual inventions of communication and language. Words are NOT people!!!
