Commanders with duplicate names?

([i]Since right now, you might have two commanders of the same type; neither are in the Hall of Fame, so they can be renamed. After a battle with a human player, you rename the commanders, so that in the future, the opponent thinks that "Captain Q" has 7 awesome magic items, and "Captain Kangaroo" is a pushover. Therefore, the opponent avoids attacking a province where "Captain Q" is reported, even though it's actually Captain Kangaroo, still without impressive gear.

And you can't simply move the impressive gear to achieve the exact same effect? NEITHER of these commanders would have distinguishable names at all, if they weren't named anyway, since there would be about 30 different commanders bearing the exact same name.
