This article is not so much about the names, no more is about nicknames.

Since ancient times the man knows the magical significance of the names. In the Egyptian culture, it was customary to birth a child is assigned a name, but that name was secret (only known by his parents) and in society is met by "other" name, hence his nickname. This custom, which is very common among the Pharaohs of Egypt, was meant to protect the person of the magic that could be made using its name.

This custom became Jews, who called God with a secret name, they only knew the priests of the tribe of Levi. In the Jewish Kabbalah is mentioned that the spell needed to create a human being has, among his words, the secret name of God.

Nowadays, everyone knows that owning a name is to own part of the person. When a Pope assumed his post his changes (an ancient custom of magical roots), and the same is true with many Kings in different parts of the world.

And is that a name can make all kinds of spells, domain or damage.

That is why, as you already are, that wizards use magic names and nicknames. It is not only the magical force that may have a name, the historic prestige or sentimental charge which we can provide, but that it is also a method of protection against other wizards
that you want to use our name as a weapon against us.

It is important, ultimately, to keep our protected name.

Many spells have among its main steps to write a name on a paper, and then bury it, delete it, burn it, or save it between other objects, according to the effect we want. It is simply a magical procedure elementary, akin to voodoo magic, in which the effect that we want to produce is associated with an image of the person.

Many other things could tell them about the names and their uses, but leave it to a future article
