Not all spirits have True Names. According to Grimoire II (page 77)
"Each free spirit gets a true name at the moment it becomes free."

Now I haven't dealt with too many free insect spirits, except maybe for
the queens that have killed off their shamans. And it's probably a good
thing that there aren't that many freebies running around.

While I agree that it may be a serious advantage to get the true name
of an insect queen and bind her to yoru beck and call. When the average
force of queens tends to run between 8-10, do you realy want to take on
that astral quest, attempt that ritual, more than likely fail it and
then face her down once she's REALLY pissed?
