"No mention" does not mean you can't expose false gods by their names. As you can see in just a few examples in scripture below, these names are in our own scriptures to read.
If we cound not memtion them, as some ridiculously believe, how could we read the scriptures?
Exod.23[13] And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make "no mention" of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.
Judg.2[13] And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal
and Ashtaroth.
Judg.10[6] And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the
LORD, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the
gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of
the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsook the LORD,
and served not him.
1Kgs.11[5] For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the
goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination
of the Ammonites.
[7] Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh
, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem,
and for Molech, the abomination of the children
of Ammon.
Acts.7[43] Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch
, and the star of your god Remphan, figures
which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.
