the bit that persuades ... vampire or soulful version? Necromancy is aimed by name, right, so someone thinks they've figured out his true name, and it don't work. So, what name did they use? And is it third time lucky or fourth?
First try is the name on his licence, and if that don't work that's going to be sodding depressing because it? isn't true. wtf?
But then the necromancer realises that William Neats goes home to visit a mum, or is mourned by a mother, who has a different last name. So, aha, William Lastname it is! ... but no, Will was never that. And here's a loop of story, about being reconciled, or not. What's the simplest way to find his deadname? Follow his mother to his grave. Anita Lastname, necromancy chooses you! ... but ha, he was never that neither, three fails for three.
But then what is his real name?
... Oooh, I just realised, this is a romance.
William Neats-Boyfriend.
Like when you write your 'married' name all over your folder at school, only, you know, magic.
Ha, I like it.
And the necromancer would never figure it, but we know which name boyfriend whispers at night.
