	True Names - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		True Names was the science fiction novella which brought Vernor Vinge to prominence in 1981.
		It was one of the earliest stories to present a fully fleshed-out concept of cyberspace, which would later be central to stories by William Gibson, Neal Stephenson, Melissa Scott and others (and particularly to the cyberpunk genre).
		The story follows the progress of a group of disaffected computer wizards who are early adopters of a new full-immersive virtual reality technology.

	[No title]
		The name anthropos, which was once a sentence, and is now a noun, appears to be a case just of this sort, for one letter, which is the a, has been omitted, and the acute on the last syllable has been changed to a grave.
		Artemis is named from her healthy (artemes), well-ordered nature, and because of her love of virginity, perhaps because she is a proficient in virtue (arete), and perhaps also as hating intercourse of the sexes (ton aroton miseasa).
		Good (agathon) is the name which is given to the admirable (agasto) in nature; for, although all things move, still there are degrees of motion; some are swifter, some slower; but there are some things which are admirable for their swiftness, and this admirable part of nature is called agathon.

	True Names
		All True Names are in an ancient language, believed by some to be the language that the gods used when they made the world, and by others to be the original language of the first mortal race, the Dragons.
		The entity will know their Individual True Name in their native tongue and a Namer would have to spend time translating the Individual Name into the Namer language before it could be used.
		The Individual True Name is also coded into the aura, but is so complex and varied that they cannot be deciphered and used by even a Namer.

	True Names: Afterword by Marvin Minsky
		Names and symbols, like analogies, are only partial truths; they work by taking many-levelled descrip- tions of different things and chopping off all of what seem, in the present context, to be their least essen- tial details--that is, the ones which matter least to our intended purposes.
		Ironically, in the world True Names describes, those representations actually do move from place to place-- but only because the computer programs which do the work may be sent anywhere within the world- wide network of connections.
		It is true that some people seem to have special excellences, which we some- times call "insights", for assessing the attitudes and motivations for other people.

	Neverwinter Nights: "True Name" concept ripped off from Wizard of Earthsea =)
		Gypsies believe in true names, and according to legend, whisper each child's true name to it when it is born.
		In addition to what others have said about the history and lore of the "true name", I would also point out that DandD, which is what NWN is based on has used the concept of True Name since before it was known as DandD, which means that it actually predates the Wizard series.
		True Names have beenn around in DandD since the begining, though- one of the first monster manuals, if not THE first, had a whole listing of the 'True Names' of 'Demons and Devils'.

		They were forced to change their last names unless they could prove that their family had been using it for several generations.
		Name distribution was so systematic that civil servants assigned family names in alphabetical order causing some small towns with only a few families to end up with all names starting with the same letter.
		Since Hispanic names were just sounds that didn't mean much, names like "Dimalantá" became "Dimalanta" (the accent shifting to the penultimate syllable) and "Julag-ay" became "Júlagay" (the accent shifting from the penultimate to the first and the glottal catch disappearing).

	Salon Technology \| Vernor Vinge, online prophet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		"True Names" includes online gathering places identical to the MUDs (multi-user domains) that became the online rage in the late '80s.
		Its protagonists guard their real names from the National Security Agency and other hackers with cryptographic safeguards, just like today's cryptopunks.
		And they live solely to log on -- the pathology of today's Internet addiction is all-too-familiar in "True Names." So maybe we don't yet have marauding artificial intelligences or the ability to upload our consciousness into the Net; given Vinge's track record, it should only be a matter of time.

		There is an almost frightening disagreement among authoritative reference works as to the spelling of botanical names of plants, as to their derivations and meanings and, above all, as to their pronunciation.
		For the names of species, L. Bailey's Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture and Hortus Second have been referred to about equally as guides to plant names with occasional references to more recent authorities laying fair claim to dependability.
		The phonetic spellings of plant names used throughout are our own and are designed solely as keys to the sounds it is necessary to make in order to transfer the written words into intelligible speech.

		They are just the names under which dwarves make themselves known in the world, and for this they use mannish and sometimes elvish words which they phonetically adapted if necessary.
		The names Durin, Fundin, Thorin and those of his 11 companions, all are adaptations.

		"True Names" is basically a medium sized story which was (apparently) groundbreaking at the time it was written (1981).

	The Encyclopedia of Arda FAQ: What were the names of the nine Nazgûl?
		One of them, the second in rank after the Lord of the Nazgûl himself, was named Khamûl, and also known as the Black Easterling.
		Some readers have even suggested that these names are so widely accepted that they should be considered the de facto names for the eight otherwise unnamed Ringwraiths.
		On a personal level, or in the context of the games that spawned the names, this isn't an unreasonable approach: if Tolkien never told us the name of, say, the Witch-king, there seems little obvious harm in imagining that his name was originally Murazor (or anything else, for that matter).
