Or just close the old thread and open a new one when the name's revealed. And have a page detailing fan-made names for characters so that whenever they ask, we just redirect them there.

Not that it stops them all the time, I've seen newbies that are like (insert whiny voice here) "But I didn't want to read it" and continue being annoying until they get blocked. Luckily, the users on this Wiki are mostly tame.

I've Admin'ed Wikis where users were too lazy to read the rules (which we also very kindly summarized for them on their talk pages). And broke the rules. And were PO'd when they got called out for it, saying "I DON'T KNOW THE RULES!!!" It gets old really fast.
