"Lock names" locks the element names relative to the element, so you
don't keep accidentally moving the name when you intend to move the
whole element.  I do most of my PCB editing with names locked.

If any part of the element is not available (like silk), the whole
element is not selectable.

"Only names" keeps you from selecting the element when you intend to
move the names.  This mode is for rearranging all the refdes's once
the elements are placed.
