Mind ya, it's Homophones Everywhere!

Question

No gibberish, let's jump to the riddle!

I am a NAME.
Remove a letter, I am what a name may stand for.
Remove yet another letter, I am another name of another type.
What on earth am I?

Oh, and just to remove this puzzle from the too-broad list, all the names sound the same.

Wow, just looked at this right before posting a homophone riddle which is the same thing as this :) +1! — Duck, Aug 17, 2019 at 5:15
I think another of my homophone riddles is sole/soul. You could have done four (Sol, Seoul, sole, soul)! — Duck, Aug 17, 2019 at 5:20
ooh, but I'd rather stick to the removal of letters PLUS the homophones... that's what so special abt this ;) @Duck — Omega Krypton, Aug 17, 2019 at 5:21

Not sure this is the intended answer but:

Seoul: the name of a city
soul: a person, what a name could stand for
Sol: the name of our sun

$\begingroup$ Put the first letter back in in a different spot and it gets a bit fishy... $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ @OmegaKrypton I think he means to make "sole" from sol + e, with the same homonym. $\endgroup$
