Yvain takes a new name simply because he needs to renew his reputation. Yvain is no longer a suitable name and beyond redeemable. Too much dishonor and shame has fallen that name. When the maiden spreads the healing... goo all over Yvain and restores him it's like being reborn. He's a new man, one who is self less and subservient to good and just people... what a real knight should be.
When it comes to the three sisters, problems arise when Gawain(sp) and Yvain must fight each other for the sake of the disputing sisters. They are each others equals and one cannot defeat the other thus presenting the king the decision. Which makes me wonder, if the king knew the eldest sister was in the wrong from the beginning... then why have these two fight?
