I don't even understand the impulse to lose the names. Names aren't achievement awards. We already have Best Paper awards at the Big 4 and the Pwnies (for however seriously you take that). The names don't cost anybody anything, and they're occasionally helpful.
Name them all.
You see the same weird discussions about CVEs, and people wanting to squash CVEs down (or not issue them at all) because the research work is deemed insufficient to merit the recognition. As if recognition for work was ever even ostensibly what the CVE program was about.
