Changed it (restricting the source to creatures and planeswalkers. It doesn't feel right that a sniper may kill, say, an enchantment or some such). It was not the intention to also counter the ability though.
Changed "destroy that creature" to "destroy the source of that ability". Added "or planeswalker"."
That's super not clear. It reads like you're destroying the targeted creature. Maybe try "when a permanent with the chosen name becomes the target of an ability, counter that ability and destroy its source"
I don't see how does it combo with e.g. Bloodlust Inciter though; if there isn't something I'm failing to see, all it would do is destroying Bloodlust Inciter upon having it target something of the chosen name (the thing that gets destroyed is not the targeted permanent, but the creature whose ability targets)
Seems like a lot of effort to create a mind game that instead usually just ends up being a combo with Bloodlust Inciter etc.
I was actually thinking to introduce a creature "eating" mechanic at some time, this seems like an appropriate place
