Not a DND expert but generally the trope with Fey is that their magic uses people’s names so If a fey knows your name they can do whatever they want to you.
To piggyback on previous responses, a common trick I’ve seen in Feywild games is when introducing a new Fey, they would say “You can call me ArgleBargle, may I have your name?”
The trick is that if you give your name to someone in the Feywild, it is no longer yours.
Can someone please provide context for us noobs?

Probably something about a beings true name giving power over them.

Isn’t that good? Now people can’t use Gate to summon you into a trap.
at least from what i’ve seen it generally results in you becoming a thrall, they can straight up just completely control you like an RC car
