Simplest option is to just define another NoteNames context that omits 
changing the stencil.  Then you can control each as you want.

Of course, you can always define any arbitrary markup if you want when 
changing the text property.  An example of what you can do is below:

%%%%
\version "2.19.83"

newnames =
#`(("c" . "S")
   ("d" . "R")
   ("e" . "G")
   ("f" . "M")
   ("g" . "P")
   ("a" . "D")
   ("b" . "N"))

myNoteNames =
#(lambda (grob)
   (let* ((default-name (ly:grob-property grob 'text))
          (new-name (assoc-get default-name newnames)))
         (ly:grob-set-property! grob 'text new-name)
   (ly:text-interface::print grob)))

myNoteNamesWithOld =
#(lambda (grob)
   (let* ((default-name (ly:grob-property grob 'text))
          (new-name (assoc-get default-name newnames)))
         (ly:grob-set-property! grob 'text #{ \markup
           \override #'(baseline-skip . 1.5)
           \center-column {
             \line { \bold $new-name }
             \line { \tiny \concat { ( $default-name ) } } } #})
   (ly:text-interface::print grob)))

geetam = \relative c' { e4 e g2 g a4 g c2 c }

\new Staff
<<
  \geetam
  \new NoteNames \with {
    \override NoteName #'stencil = #myNoteNames
    \override NoteName #'color = #red
  } { \geetam}
  \new NoteNames \with {
    \override NoteName #'color = #green
  } { \geetam}
  \new NoteNames \with {
    \override NoteName #'stencil = #myNoteNamesWithOld
    \override NoteName #'color = #blue
  } { \geetam} >>
%%%%
