* During UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, [[UsefulNotes/NaziGermany Hermann Göring]] once boasted "No enemy bomber can reach the Ruhr. If one reaches the Ruhr, [[TemptingFate my name is not Goering. You may call me Meyer]]". Needless to say, German people started mockingly calling this afterwards when the Air War began over Germany.

A {{stock phrase|s}} used as a "guarantee" that something is or will be true. The idea is the person is so sure of it, he will bet his name on it, which may have grown out of the belief that [[IKnowYourTrueName names have power]]. Occasionally played for irony if the speaker is using a false name. Also used in variations of "If this isn't true (or won't happen), my name will be [specific other name]", often involving an uncool or unfortunate name.
