Larry was never their real name, just their secular name, or 'kinnui', translated to English as "nickname", except it isn't really. It's the name they tell everyone else so they can hide their Rabbinic name. Their actual name, the 'shem hakodesh' is probably something like Lahad or Lavan or Lemuel. But most of us will never know it.
You know how in places like Hong Kong or Lebanon, people tend to have Western and Eastern names depending on who's addressing them? A certain ethnoreligion has it too, except it's a bit more sinister than just two names.
They really only have one name, and the only people who know it are members of their own family and their rabbi. Some of them die without ever knowing this name, because some of the more superstitious types believe it would curse them to know it.
The name we refer to them from outside their religion is merely an alias. It's not their name. Every celebrity you can name of that heritage, even those with "usual suspect" surnames, has a real name that only their family and rabbi tend to know unless it becomes public information, like Natalie Portman = Neta-Lee Hershlag, for instance.
Curly Howard? Born Jerome Lester Horwitz, but that's still his secular name. His real name was Yehudah Leib bar Shlomo Natan HaLevi.
Larry Ellison, Larry Fink, Larry Silverstein. Maybe we should just kill all the (((Larrys))).

it's funny how many tropes about monsters come from jews. in this case, telling a demon their real name is part of how you hurt/banish it...
pretty much all of grimms fairy tales are to warn chilfren about jews.
Read the Bartimaeus books. They unironically explain so much about jewish culture and mysticism
