It's very much like in OP, except I can just pickpocket a target's name when they aren't looking.
Like a lot of Sidereal charms, it's deceptively useful but dependent on setting up a situation to make it good. I use it to either fuck with someone powerful (a CEO whose name can no longer be used by anyone is paralyzed) or to learn the name of someone I just met so I can convince them that we've met before to improve their initial reaction to me.
In one instance a villain summoned the Wyld Hunt and just as they appeared I swiped her name and proceeded to command the hunter because they were summoned by [villain's name] and that was my name (now, anyway). Storyteller ruled it worked because it was a fey creature.
Fey was probably delighted inside to see that trick. Very good trick! Now a reason to come back to get their name from you and stay in the story!
I, of course, sent the Hunt after one of my enemies. I'm not going to waste the opportunity to play "let's you and him fight".
~~My catspaws~~ The rest of the circle are sometimes frustrated with my antics, but I'm too useful for them to ditch.
