In [[fantasy]] where magic works by evoking true names, characters often go to great lengths to conceal their true names.

Multiple variants of magic utilizing or grounded in the power of true names have appeared in the ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' [[role-playing game]], though never as a bedrock element of the game. For instance, certain spells are more powerful if the target's true name is known.<ref name="d20SRD">d20 SRD. The spell ''[http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/trapTheSoul.htm Trap the Soul]'' is one such example, where knowledge of a true name allows the capture of even those immune to magic.</ref>
