Kvothe’s Name

So as I was listening to WMF for the umpteenth time, I found this piece of info.

In the beginning of NOTW, Kvothe says that his name means fire, lightning, and the broken tree. In Admere, he reveals his true name: Maedre, which means fire, lightning, and the broken tree. This also ties into the Eld, where he calls down lightning, causes a fire, and ends up with a broken tree.

Why would he tell us this? Vashet tells him explicitly that it would be a very bad idea to share his name.

This hints at Kvothe either being suicidal, or having changed his name and no longer caring about whether or not people know his old name.

Idk, just thought I’d share.
