Paul Simon's two? (5)

I believe the answer is:

names

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'two?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'paul simon's' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'paul' could be 'me' (where the crossword setter is 'Paul') and 'me' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'nas' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for names that I've seen before include "Paul, Pat, John" , "Appellations or identifiers" , "identification" , "People and things are known by them" , "Some people drop these to sound important" .)
