For me, names are possessed solely by the person we are introduced to as possessing them. So Kanon is Kanon, Kinzo is Kinzo, Battler is Battler... you get the idea. So far, I'm fairly confident there's no scenario where people must "trade names" to get around the red that can't be explained in a way where you don't have to.
Unfortunately that other guy seems to exist in red. It was from Ushiromiya Asumu that Ushiromiya Battler was born and This Battler definitely was not. Until we find an effective way to deny him, he'll be poisoning the formal context forever.
