The Dejauzida (including, in this instance, the Hus) have all sorts of weird taboos about names. You can’t, for example, say the name of someone who’s died; you have to use an elaborate periphrasis. Nor can you ask someone their name; nor can you tell someone yours. If you really want to know, you have to ask a member of the family (and not just any member; there’s a rigid protocol, governed by family status and the name owner’s position in the family hierarchy). Asking a princess her name would constitute an insult that could only be avenged in blood.
