My opinion: The only solution is to name your PC with your fake name at creation. After that, people will learn your real name through RP only.

Another PW I visited strictly enforced that PCs be named with descriptions only, no names (eg. a dark skinned elf). That way, all names had to be learned through RP.
Not a bad idea, but a lot of people do RP it properly. There are a few characters (or were) that introduce themselves with different names. I think it adds to the RP, knowing that they are hiding something and you have to pretend you dont know who there are.

I know Isilme never calls anyone by their name, unless she hears them being called it or is told it. I told think she has ever called your character koppig. She only refers to him as pig, even when talking to other people. Most of the people I RP with, do the same as well. The only time I might use someones names before being told it is in an emote to indicate i am talking too or looking at that person.

I agree it is real annoying, but I hope it is in the minority.
