If you summon an unnamed npc and then name it and enter the npc name given to the command [name="NPC's NAME"], the command does not recognize the npc. In the past, the command could recognize npc's name but now the command only can recognize that was named npc when it was summoned.
Steps of Reproduce
Summon a npc
Name the npc
Type [name="NPC's NAME"] in a command
Expected results
The command can recognize the npc.
Observed results
The command cannot recognize the npc.

Can confirm on Windows 10.
@yuan_xi When you summon an NPC with a name, that name also gets carried over to the name above its head, indicating that that is the NPC's real name. I believe there shouldn't be two different names for the NPC.

The floating name on the top of the npc's head is not the real name, the real name is the name used when summoning with "/summon", or the name of the item "spawn_egg" named with the anvil
