Nameplates are only useful as an OOC memo, and should be kept as such.

Usually, it's accidental. I don't think anyone otherwise actually uses them IC, but there are people who will see that the name your character gave doesn't match the nameplate and their character will immediate become suspicious where they would not have been otherwise, which is indeed a case of bleedover.
