'narrative supporting' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'different names so perhaps elevated' is the wordplay.
'different' indicates anagramming the letters (letters placed in a different order).
'perhaps' becomes 'eg' (for example).
'elevated' is a reversal indicator (in a down clue, letters go up).
'eg' in reverse letter order is 'ge'.
'names'+'so'='namesso'
'namesso' is an anagram of 'onmessa'.
'onmessa'+'ge'='ON-MESSAGE'
