The principles of the nick-names and the bija mantras are described in the Tantras, Zoran, not in the Upanishads. So you did not read Upanishads carefully Willy. You don't know where in the Upanishads is the part of the text which brings out principle that Gods are pleased to be called indirectly.

But, how did the Gods get the 'nick-names'? Did someone make them up or what? Maybe the Gods don't like being addressed by their real names, so they told the Rishis to call them by other, shorter names. But, who was the first person to call a God by his nick-name? So you did not read Upanishads!
