True Names

The true name is the one that the person uses to self identify. It is what makes humans different from daemons a human's self concept is always changing so the name is only good for so long. Daemons do not change their nature so once you have there name that's it. you also need to get the name from their own lips.

So at which milestones do True Names "stale" or "expire"?  Or do  you have to change 2 or 3 aspects? :)

I wouldn't tie it to milestones. Changing your aspects might do the trick, though I get the sense from the novels that it's the sort of thing that "softens up" over the course of a few years.

I would let it work as long as it works for the story and as long as it is fun for the players unless there was a permanent aspect change. I think that would represent enough of a change in self concept to invalidate the name.
