Significance of Names and Persons

This is part of an old thread at NFCF...unfortunately I don't remember exactly what I posted

Here is another interesting thing I posted at the old and now defunct NFCF...."names" is used in scriptures to show number of persons

Act 1:15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about a hundred and twenty,)

A.T. Robertson says
Multitude of persons (ochlos onomatò„n). Literally, multitude of names. This Hebraistic use of onoma = person occurs in the lxx (Numbers 1:2; 18:20; 3:40, 43; 26:53) and in Rev_3:4; Rev_11:13.

I am just wondering if perhaps if a Trinity is intended why not say "names" in places like Matt 28:19
