I remember hearing of some sort of fae that dealt with names, in particular stealing names , does anyone know what they're called?

I think it refers to all faes - "Don't tell the Faerie your full name. This is the whole name=power thing, if you give them your full name they'll have a certain amount of control over you. Apparently 'the reason we have middle names is because the faeries cannot steal a child if they do not know the full name'."
