In Response To: Re: what about wighty? (Martel)

: Personally, I think it's similar to the theory given in
: The Wizard Of Earthsea. Everyone has a true name,
: regardless of whether they know it or not. True name
: are not given to people, they are innate. Knowing and
: speaking the true name of another will give you power
: over them (this is the method normally used to bind
: summoned demons).

which explains everything except: how does anyone find out another's true name? Do they just stand around them and say a bunch of random names? And who/what determines a person's "innate" name?
