OK, that make sense, but then the same could be accomplished by simply
moving FName to the protected section. After all, nobody can override
ChangeName() because its not virtual, so all that it will ever do is just
set the FName field variable. A developer wanting to bypass the code in
SetName, could then simply set FName directly - and get rid of the
pointless ChangeName method..

Either way, my initial problem has been solved by overriding the SetName()
method.
