"True Name" magic

[John Q. Mayhem]

Hey, I've been thinking about mythology, especially celtic and such, and it got me thinking about magic. Is there anything out now that has a "true name" magic system? I think I heard about one recently, but I can't remember... I suppose I could just go through the PHB and decide which spells require true names, but that would be bad, because the system really wasn't designed for it. So, assisstance?

Yeah, Arcana Unearthed. Here's a link to Monte's design diary where he discusses his implementation of true names.
