The Deeper Meanings of Name Cloaks. Unless...?
I would find it so funny if we randomly meet a wizard with a name cloak of a proper noun that doesn't have another meaning (i.e. isn't already a word in English).
Sonder may be the closest we've gotten so far. It's a recently-coined word (at least in English) so potentially might not count yet as a word with a meaning outside of just being a name for this story (though I would not put it past Brennan to have heard of this word and use it for its other meaning).
Anyway, I'm hanging out for the day we meet a new character and
"What up, you can call me the Wizard Stephanie."
#For anyone who's curious:#Noun#sonder (uncountable)#(neologism) The profound feeling of realizing that everyone#including strangers passing in the street#has a life as complex as one's own#which they are constantly living despite one's personal lack of awareness of it.#Worlds Beyond Number#The Wizard the Witch and the Wild One#Name Cloaks#Wizard Sonder#Wizard Names#WWWO#And like I know that most names have some ancient meaning from long ago or in different languages#but I'm more talking about names that you wouldn't use in a sentence unless you were referring to a person
