Her name being bleeped never held such power over me when I viewed the films in terms of who the bride was at any given point in time. Perhaps I subscribe to the "a rose by any other name would still smell as sweet" camp. I think it's just something Tarantino tried too hard to make obvious in his storytelling to make Uma's character into a human (when I already gave him that concession, regardless of her cold-hearted nature as an assassin earlier because I already allowed for a wide range of roles humans can be simulataneously to different people in their lives).
Is it a heavy-handed way to make sure the audience understands the roles that Uma's character evolves in as the story unfolds? I think so. Just wasn't as impressed by this name/role evolution device. Sorry.
