  During Moshe's life in the midbar, the yidden lived a

  Miraculous life. Their food,  clothing,  everything was openly Miraculous. (Though repeated miracles must have become "routine" and seemingly nonmiraculous to them. 

  Miracles and nature are really the same. The only difference is frequency.  

  Perhaps Hashem dictated His 6 names when the yidden lived Miraculously, and reserved the 7th, "tzivo'os" for the "natural" existence the yidden lived once they entered Eretz Yisrael.

  The pot is the same keli with or without a bean inside

  With a bean inside it, it is being used as a functional present keli but considered subservient to the bean. And if the bean is below the shiur, we disregard the subservient keli pot.

  Interestingly when that selfsame pot is empty and therefore not subservient, being of sufficient size, it maintains it's own status and isn't subservient,  and therefore we may not carry it outside on Shabbos.

  Each of us, too, have many relationships and many names

  I am a wife.  I am a mother,  a daughter,  a sister, an aunt, an employee,  a neighbor, a student, a teacher, a patient,  etc., etc. 

  In each relationship it is the same "me" but the other side of  the relationship calls "me" with a different name. I can be called "honey", "mommy", "Sarah", "mrs Goldberg", etc.  

  When I speak to myself I don't really need to use a name.

  There is the story where a boy in school who misbehaved was sent to the principal who was his own father.  Before being punished the student/son says "may the principal in you remember and act as the father in you!"

  As I understand it, the difference between the Chumash and Nach

  Is that Hashem dictated every word in Chumash to Moshe who wrote it down, whereas Nach is a record of the Neviim (or others)  writing down their prophecies. 

  Obviously the prophecies in Nach are of a lower level than Chumash.  A printed Chumash is placed on top of a volume of  Nach. Our weekky parshas are from Chumash and haftorahs, instituted only to remind us of the parsha when it was forbidden, are read afterwards from a printed text (some use klaf).  

  So Hashem Himself chose to reveal and use 6 of His names in Chumash and reserved the 7th, "Tzivo'os" to be revealed and written down after the Chumash was "closed" by His Neviim, in this case, Chana. Once so revealed it was repeated by her son, Shmuel, and other Neviim.

  The fact that this 7th name is only found in Nach and not in Chumash might be the reason for the machlokis whether or  not this name,  too, might be erased.

  Only in Shmuel 1 the first time Hashem is called "Tzivo'os"

  The Chumash and Nach does not and cannot record everything and every conversation that ever occurred. 

  Tanach records only that which Hashem dictated to Moshe and which the Neviim prophesied.  

  So the first time the name "Tzivo'os" is used by Chana is not necessarily the first time this name is used,  but rather the first time this name is openly recorded.  Hashem himself chose not to dictate this name of His to Moshe when he dictated and Moshe, the stenographer,  wrote.
