Many don't wish to remember their past lives or want a way of starting anew, and as the new lore from Before the Storm has shown, Sylvanas is actively telling her people to have as few connections to their past as they can. I imagine naming would be one of them, which is... very hypocritical, but...
That's just how it is.
