Your point in your first post here is very well-taken.  There's an idea in fantasy writing and in some magical traditions that knowing the true name of something gives you power over it; a sense that a thing/person's real name is that thing/person. I'm also for some reason reminded of Anais Nin's assertion that "We don't see things as they are.
