2. You can change it to protect your identity and your real name.

3. Yes it does, for a dragon. Defending your name, means no one can Challenge you like the Dragonborn did Odahviing. Though dragons are not compelled to answer the call.

4. How do you still not get this? If I go to china and stay there for a year and come back with a fake name, am I not the same person? Nahfahlaar can do the same over the course of 500 years. The fourth point is irrelevant, and has been since it was mentioned.

5. For all we know, he was forced to, time and again We've shown that dragons are not as almighty as in the legends, Which isoften the case. So forcing a dragon to work for you can't be that hard. 1. Even the introduction of Redguard says "Nafalilargus", nothing to do with pronounciation. 2. And why would he do that if he's a "proud jewel of the Imperial Crown"? 3. Except that it makes no sense for Tiber Septim to change a name for any reason. If the Dragon is loyal to him, and I mean dead-loyal, as Nafalilargus was, than he would not accept the challenge in the first place. 4. How do you still not get this? Nafalalilargus and Nahfalaar are two seperate Dragons, Nahfalaar can't just say "Well, I'm Nafalilargus now" and nobody would suspect a thing. Makes no sense. 5. Not really, he himself says his Imperial allegiance is well-paid for.
