Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names may leave permanent psychological scars that will never quite heal.

That's not quite as catchy. More accurate, but not as catchy.

According to some traditions, names have magical powers, so that knowing someone's true name will give you power over them. Rumpelstiltskin is a famous example of this idea.

In our internet age, the idea of true names and obtaining them has a new relevancy. Unfortunately, my real name is Mr thoth lad, so I don't fare too well there. smile

If you are known by a certain name by most people and for most of the time, wouldn't that become your true name?

Not if it's not the one people can use to summon you into their presence and bind you into doing their bidding. This is easily mistaken in relationships for the name your partner calls you. smile

Such names must be involved in a certain tone, though!

There's the "Do this for me please" tone, the "Oh you're in such trouble" tone, and the "Don't you dare talk to me" tone

Creature 1: And the mortals did know me as Astazorn, the desolator of worlds!
Creature 2: And I, Zorn the Furnace of Souls revelled in slaughter until the humans learned of my true name.
Quiz: I didn't want to change the channel, but Pov used "snugglebottoms" and that was that.

I wouldn't begin to inquire into a gentleman's private affairs. An enquiry though...

Think of it as less prying into someone else's affairs, and more of getting to play noirish detective.

... threadbare office with a bottle in the bottom drawer. Streetlight flickering through the cheap blinds on the window.

Night fell on the city streets, slick with unceasing rain and blood.
"Stupid streets!" shouted Night, picking itself up.
