I am wondering if there are names of Lord Caitanya that are meant to specifically refer to His incarnation as Radha and Krsna and destinguish Him from the incarnation of Narayana that appears in other Kali yugas.For instance I have read that Mahaprabhu means Maha as mahabhava or Srimati Radharani and Prabhu means Krsna, so this name specifically refers to the incarnation of this Kali yuga, but could it also be applied to Gaura-Narayana if interpreted in another way?
Any way are there any names that only refer to Lord Gauranaga as Radha and Krsna?
Hare Krsna,
your servent

Here is something related from my forthcoming commentary (unedited)--
He is Gaura Krsna, not Gaura Narayana
..........................................................
Although sankirtana is the dharma of Kali-yuga in general, in the current yuga cycle there is a special concession. Guara has woven a wreath out of both of prema and sankirtana and seeks to garland the world with it näma-prema-mälä gänthi’ paräila samsäre (Cc 1.4.40).
When the Raja of Puri first witnessed the sankirtana of Gaura’s associates, he was filed with wonder (camatkara). He had never witnessed this kind of kirtana, this kind of dancing, this kind of love, aiche prema, aiche nrtya, aiche hari-dhvani kähän nähi dekhi, aiche kähän nähi suni. Prataparudra Maharaja was no stranger to glorification of Krsna. He presided over a city centered around glorification of Krsna, a city that was host to millions and millions of pilgrims. When he asked his brother in law who was familiar with Gaura’s kirtana what kind of kirtana it was, Gopinatha replied, caitanyera sristi—ei prema-sankirtana, “This is the creation of Sri Caitanya. It is called prema sankirtana.” Not all forms of sankirtanam offer prema, but the sankirtana of Gaura Krsna is about prema alone. Indeed, it frowns upon mere deliverance (mukti).
The nama mantra recommended by Sri Caitanya is mentioned in the sruti. Kalisantarana Upanisad calls this nama mantra of sixteen names taraka brahma nama. The sixteen names are three names, Hare, Krsna, and Rama arranged such that the names Krsna and Rama are uttered four times each, and the name Hare is uttered eight times: Hare Krsna Hare Krsna Krsna Krsna Hare Hare Hare Ram Hare Ram Ram Rama Hare Hare. Taraka means deliverance. This is the result of singing this nama mantra in kali-yuga. It delivers one from samsara.
However, the special concession of Sri Caitanya is a result of his being Gaura Krsna, rather than Gaura Narayana. He is not the usual Kali-yuga avatara who appearas in the world to deliver people form birth and death by advocating the yuga-dharma. He is not an avatara of Krsna, but rather Krsna himself. Although he does teach the yuga-dharma, he also has another internal agenda of his own, and he instructs us about it in his Siksastakam.
After praising the essence of all spiritual practice with the words param vijayate sri krsna sankirtanam, Sri Caitanya delineates seven sequential effects of nama sankirtanam. In doing so he makes it abundantly clear that mere deliverance from samsara is not the full fruit of his prema sankirtana. He does not chant merely taraka brahma nama, but paraka brahma nama. Paraka means competence—competent to give the treasure of prema, krsna-näma’ päraka hanä kare prema-däna. What then is the need for any other sadhana?
