Harry doesn't know Titania's true name = knock on door. He had a book telling him the Erlking's true name = command to appear.

We don’t know that with certainty. That is speculation at best.

--- Quote ---Controlling an inhuman being via its Name is a shady area of magic, only one step removed from taking over the will of another mortal. According to the White Council's Seven Laws of Magic, that's a capital crime—and they make zero-tolerance policies look positively lenient.

By Summer Knight it is pretty much fleshed out as canon, subject to the needs of the story. Although he almost never refers back to it, the method of calling out to Toot for instance is laid out in Storm Front. If you know the name you can make a connection. If you have the will you can compel the creature you are summoning. The circle traps them. This is the basis for summoning the Earl King in Dead Beat. The text of Die Lied der Erlking is his true name.

Really big sticky tape they try to run over and get trapped

Read the Even Hand short story, Marcone flatly tells the reader (i.e. us) that his real name isn't John Marcone.
