This is one of those things I've never accepted. No matter how hard
you try to justify it it just doesn't hold water. IMNSHO, magic was given
a SOTA just to keep it 'in game balance' with everything else suffering
from SOTA. With the heavy Karma demands of magic I don't even find that
necessary.

Ancient cultures believed that names held great power, personal names
more so and they were guarded very closely. To protect themselves, they
answered to another name, because if another discovered their real name,
it could be used against them.
History repeats itself.
