Banishing will only work if the real name is known or the Spirit of the Lord is either in your soul or next to you.

I disagree. We are told to cast them out in Jesus' Name, not to use theirs. His power, not ours, can and will remove them. Stronger ones, prayer and fasting might be needed, but you can remove one without a name. Tossed out out of a friend's place, when I was staying there, and she was away. Came back later, because she isn't a believer, but was gone for a while. She knew why, too, that it could come back, but didn't change her beliefs. Go figure.

Have you ever witnessed a demon being cast out in the name of Jesus ? I have not.
From personal experience I felt 2 demons being removed from me after making a genuine plea for help from God.
Even Jesus mentions in the Bible that His disciples were not 100% efficient. Successful banishing depends upon full faith in His Name and the Word of God.
Your friend was probably going to lose something dearly if the demon was permanently removed. Money, material items, wealth, power are the usual temptations that make people stay with demons. Bit like having a quick fix down at the local shopping mall with money from thin air.
Many true Christians go through Job's life where the devil is allowed to destroy a believers' lifestyle via financial losses. If the believer is stubborn and faithful, then they will survive to the very end.

Frail-looking elderly lady, but tough!! I have no doubt she prayed, and it was GONE. That was, I am sure, a lesson for me!
For that "ghost", no benefit to her at all - she was scared of it, and it threatened her young son, too - but she wasn't able to have the faith needed to keep it away.
The stronger one's faith, the more the enemy will attack. That I know well!!
