There's nothing wrong with others weilding Mjolnir, but why should Odinson give up his NAME, not his title of "God (or goddess) of Thunder" but his BIRTH NAME of Thor to anyone who can lift it? That just irks me and rubs me the wrong way. 'Cause it's not even like he can just unofficially go by Thor while Jane is the "official Thor", in the Secret Wars tie-in, they just called him The Unworthy... That's just... What? So he no longer has a name? He's just Odinson the Unworthy? I don't know, maybe he gave his name to her because no one would call her anything else other than Thor? It was his decision to give her his name while he's unworthy, and that's because he isn't Thor without Mjolnir. That's exactly what Jason Aaron will explore in the upcoming Unworthy Thor series: who is Thor Odinson without Mjolnir? Is he worthy? The guy just lost what made him him, so I for trying to rediscover himself amidst adversity. And that's not like people will suddenly stop calling him Thor, they call him Thor all the time in the Mighty Thor series.

In the case of what happened in Thors, that was another world, and there, Thor wasn't a name but a title. As he was unworthy, he lost his title as Thor and the other Thors started to call him the Unworthy to make him remember his disgrace.
