I must have somehow missed the fact that the convocation are only using titles and not their real names...?
It's mentioned a few times in Shadowbringers. These are the titles given to the members of the Convocation. There have probably been many, many Fandaniels each an individual with their own birth name that take that title when the seat needs to be filled.
For example

Hades took the title of Emet-Selch

At the end of Shadowbringers before you fight him he says "Let's drop titles and pretense and reveal our true faces to one another" before revealing his real name. Hades.
