OK, so the Goa'uld impersonated deities and other powerful figures from Earth mythologies. (See What other mythologies' figures are represented in SG1 aside from Norse and Egyptian pantheons? and especiallly this answer http://ift.tt/1wfDeGM)
What I don't understand is why the Goa'uld get their names from the gods they impersonated and then continue to use them, and these are the only names they are known by? Didn't they have a name before they enslaved a particular group?
Same for the Asgard. Why do they all have names that are from Norse mythology, even though the vast majority of them never contacted Earth? Norse mythology is supposed to have existed before the Asgard came, and the Asgard existed long before they interacted with Earthlings.
Before anyone says it is a matter of translation convention, I'm pretty confident it is not. It is pretty clear they are intended to still be using these names.
A related question is about the way they dress. I mean, doesn't it seem a little beneath them to be continuing to dress and decorate like it was thousands of years ago?
