I am not sure the following answers you point (as to the term 'advocate') but here goes:
(1) Retain the terms advocate for all those who are qualified to appear in court (mostly solicitors (sometimes solicitor advocates, like me) and barristers.
(2) Advisers to any government must not be politicians (whatever their title). We can all think of instances where the giving of advice has been tinged (and more) with what must sometimes be very difficult conflicts of interest.
(3) And of course get rid of the grant of KsCs as a title; no more 'King's Counsel' (sorry Joshua). However KC's ever advise the king? At least stop the near obsessive use of KC whenever almost anywhere a holder appears in law reports, and other texts where their name is mentioned.
