"True Names" was written by Vernor Vinge (former husband of *Snow Queen*
author Joan Vinge). You probably read it in *Binary Star 5*, which is
an incredibly hard book to get hold of. Had the book been better
distributed, it probably would have won the Hugo in 1982. But most
people don't vote for books/stories they've never read (unless the
the author is Asimov, or Heinlein, or Clarke, or ..) Someday, maybe, if
we're all good, they might reprint it. There was a lot of discussion
on the  ARPANET during the spring/summer of 1982. It's a pretty neat
story, recommended to hackers and netters everywhere.
