“Require a name beyond that.” Who said anything about “requiring” a name. Having something identifiable is not about requiring it of others or as a touchstone for inclusion/exclusion unless that aspect is added. It is not inherent.
A name may not be required de jure (letter of the law), but it is, to me, required de facto (in fact, in useage). When I meet a christian, the first thing I am asked is "What church do you go to?", and they expect a name. To have a conversation about assembling together you need to have a name. That is my experience, anyway.
