Will We Ever Learn the Wanderer’s Real Name?

The Wanderer's real name is currently unknown, since the emperor or empress of Kamigawa is not allowed to reveal it, to anyone, outside of their family, and staff members of WotC have said that not knowing her real name is a major aspect of her character, but I find that to be a very lame excuse, since she is such a prominent character in the story, so not knowing her name can possibly lead to weird or awkward situations; this is different from Ashiok, since not knowing their (Ashiok's) plane of origin, or what type of being they are, is an inherent aspect of what makes them such a terrifying and menacing being, so solving that mystery would deprive them of what makes them so unique, and also different from characters such as Calvin's parents in Calvin and Hobbes, who are important only in their relationship to the main characters, so this mystery can be dragged out, for only so long, before it becomes annoying. Also, how does she introduce herself on planes, other than Kamigawa? Does she actually call herself "the Wanderer?" As a side note, it also would be nice to learn Massacre Girl's real name, but I am not as worried, about that, since she has never been portrayed as mysterious character, in the way that the Wanderer has been, and "Massacre Girl" sounds more personal, while "the Wanderer" sound very impersonal.
What does everyone else say about this subject? Will we ever learn the Wanderer's real name?
