in canon, he's never spoken it, not even (Deadly Assassin) on Gallifrey

So his wive and kids didn't know his name?

Something is going on there.

Definitely, even if just in the recesses of Steven Moffat's devious mind.

My speculation was that he no longer *had* a name, that it had been stripped from him. Ah, well.

I thought that too.

some sort of custom that he still honored.

Especially since he is the last one.

We've seen him die, repeatedly, so no cigar there.

I meant the death of the person he's telling, not his own death. But I hope it's more interesting than that, too.

it's something so dreadful that River apologizes, repeatedly, before telling him his name.

Yes. There must have been a reason. And his reaction was... well, whatever it was, it wasn't a simple, "How did you know that?" It was something more.

And no, marriage wouldn't warrant the apology and the tension. So - ?
