I don't what is up the alt name thing, so can't comment on that. Besides that, this card is slightly all over the place.

The self-summoning effect, high attack, revive ability coupled with of not exactly being hard to find and recycle makes it very dangerous in Blue-Eyes. If you open this and Melody of Awakening Dragon, you can search Alt Blue-Eyes, and have a Rank 8 ready to go, not to mention you could discard something for this guy to revive before doing so. It also works in Chaos MAX variants as the acceptable level for the Ritual Summon. The protection effect is weird, the only thing I can think that it protects if from is Compulsory Evacuation Device and maybe Breakthrough Skill? Neither of which, I think, are really important. 

The only downside to this card is that you've to pay a chunk of LP (that will be chipped at over time by your opponent and by traps like the Solemn traps) and the fact it can only be special summoned in one way. They would make this card fairer, if Blue-Eyes weren't such a powerful deck. They probably wouldn't have trouble summoning in one turn two or even three of these, making the few brick hands you get of all high level dragons less bricky. As such, i'd recommend some sort of restriction, such as not being able to use it for Xyz material or something to prevent it getting bonkers.

Nice art though.
