Well the reason I beleive is the one you pointed out in the latter part of you text, the way it changes the very core of what he represents. To him the name "Ainz Ooal Gown" is much more glorious and dignified, along with many other adjectives, than the simple "Momonga"(which he also mentioned at some point in the authors works meant something silly). In its basis the shift in the spectrum from Suzuki Satoru to Momonga and there upon to Ainz, flows continuously to one side of it, that is further away from who he was. He has already lived for over a decade as "Momonga" while he played in Yygdrasil, and therefore has established that character and developed his premise no small amount, but it was very conjoint with his regular self, which in his mind is uncompatable with the current world. Notice that he is constantly putting on an act, if he, as you have said, puts on a further mask then that lessens the burden. But here comes the problem, what role shall he play? He answered that by saying, at least to himself, that he intends to be a proper ruler of nazarick and a piller of reliability, and even supremacy (The leader of the The Supreme beings) which knows no fail, and grants his mercy and benevolence firstly to his beloved NPCs, second to those who he accepts as subjects outside of nazarick. This position also has to be one in which his former guild members cannot find fault in, for they are the ones he valued ever so much and has wanted to reunite with for ever so long, how could he ruin that moment if it were to come, for a simple flaw in morality. That and him being the guild master, and the one who stayed until the end with nazarick, the one who all the NPCs look up to, and whom his former comrades put their trust into, should that person not embody the virtues and essence of that which is "Ainz Ooal Gown"?

Those are, I beleive, the thoughts that lead to this decision. Though ,of course, I may have missed something, or more than something, but the general idea of it should be the same.
