        But this doesn't work if NAME1 and NAME2 are ***names***,
        as the terminology would apply.  And that is precisely the
        situation in which one would wish to apply this sort of
        technique.

May be this:

FRAME   <- FRAME[-c(NAME1, NAME2)]
or
FRAME<- subset(FRAME, select=(-NAME1, -NAME2))

This is ridiculous advice.  Try things out before you suggest them.
