I rather think they have real names, like Alliot, and later, they earn a byname or title, in this case Light Rim. As for Drum, i always thought "Drum Bunker" was the name of his clan and the differnet clans are named after the weapons they have mastered (Double Sword Clan, Pile Bunker Clan, etc.) and since in Japan family names are more important than individual names, the name of the individual is irrelevant until it has done something outstanding. That would explain the exceptions, too, since all monsters with an archetype left their clans to join a certain other group (Purgatory Knights, Fifth Omnis, the Empire,...) and therefore have to use their individual name or form a sub-clan.
