"I don't think I've made many enemies here. Leastways, I haven't been aiming to and that's gotta count for something. Look, some of you know that I have kind of a problem with my real name, including not being able to say it, m'self. So, for personal reasons, if you're one of those that does know my actual name...could you kinda keep it to yourself for a spell? There are certain people I'd just rather they didn't know it, not just yet, okay?
I mean, sure sure, someone's name doesn't seem like such a big thing to know, but it's like that fame thing. Too many people learn a guy's name and suddenly he can't walk down the street, without getting mobbed and wolf called, and whatnot! It's just a hassle and I don't want to deal with that right now. I appreciate it."
