To-day I bake, to-morrow brew,
The next I'll have the young Queen's child.
Ha! glad am I that no one knew
That Rumpelstiltskin I am styled.

You've got patronym, but what about matronym? Also, John Hancock is used to mean one's signed name. The name that must not be spoken is the Tetragrammaton, which may be too specific for this list, or conversely and Kabbalistically, you may consider it the source of all names.
