But the "name" command comes from the client, and as such, I wouldn't trust it blindly.

Just like there are some cheats that allows you to set r_drawothermodels (walhack) even if sv_cheats is 0, you can most likely use the same sort of cheats to fool your server into believing that the faked "name" is the real one.

Too much work? It's maybe a little bit more with the HTTP calls, but isn't it worth it doing it that way, if you get a 100% accurate response, rather than having a 50-50 chance of some fake value?
If someone actually is willing to code a cheat to bypass name change indicator I'll give him the right to bypass it LMAO.

Edit: And risking a VAC ban as well
