2015-06-22
You choose one card name, not one name per opponent.
2015-06-22
Although spells with the chosen name can't be cast, permanent cards with that name can still be put onto the battlefield by a spell or ability.
2015-06-22
If your opponents have no nonland cards in their hands, you can't choose a card name. Alhammarret's last ability won't stop any spells from being cast in that case.

Your opponents can still cast a card with the chosen name face down if it has a morph ability. A card with the chosen name can also be manifested.
