Er...no. It's just a name. I don't mind referring to her as Bayonetta because it's the more popular alias used but narrative wise, it can care less. If anything, the fact that she tells Loki to call her Cereza would imply she woul prefer it more. After all, she was called "Cereza" for the majority of her life until the events of Bayonetta 1. She's gone under that alias for 20+ years and one month vs spending the majority of her entire life referred to as Cereza (and did so because she had amnesia and wanted to know her life). Added on to the fact that she expresses to Loki to call her either or early on in the game and that people still call her Cereza like her parents and her best friend and she doesn't bat an eye just as much with Bayonetta.

If you wanna use Bayonetta throughout, I don't mind. I usually fall under that referring to her outside her page but I use her birth name when discussing her previous history since she used that for that part of her life and it wasn't under 20 years before Bayonetta 1 that she uses "Bayonetta" as well as documenting her actual real name in a infobox.
