 * 1) Kirito did not convert his account to ALO. He created a new account and ALO screwed up and merged his account with the SAO one.
 * 2) Kirito had the option to choose a name, since he was creating a new account.
 * 3) Sinon did not convert to ALO either, she created a NEW ACCOUNT. She still has her GGO account.

The problem with your theory is that Hiyori did say something like "why protect a person like me", which implies that her past wasn't all that bright.
