That's been attempted already with Herostratus.

For more on Herostratus, see HERE.
In case I'm being opaque, my intended point is that it's impossibly to enforce a ban on mentioning someone's name. That being said, theoretically Jordan Peterson might be right. If we could theoretically wave a magic wand so that the shooter's name and identity would be forgotten, perhaps that would stop the malevolent narcissists.
My high school social studies teacher taught us that "first world" and "third world" dates back to Cold War terminology in which the Communist countries were the "second world". But how many people actually know that?
Now here's a question: When was the last time you heard someone use "second world"?
