My favourite way to name Durge is:
Step 1: Disown the name their family gave them, only go by The Dark Urge. No name or identity outside of Bhaal. All names are just masks, false personas worn outside the temple while working (spying and intel gathering, assassinating, politicking to further the aims and funds of the church, etc etc)
Step 2: Gortash gives you a nickname, possibly in an offhanded manner. Threaten to kill him for his presumption. Do not actually kill him. Internalise the name but never acknowledge it.
Step 3: Get amnesia and introduce yourself by the name Gortash gave you. You don't remember the source, but it sure feels personal and people look at you slightly less strangely for using that than The Dark Urge.
Step 4: Gortash meets Durge again in Act 3 and realises what just happened here.

Omg I love this. I can't incorporate it into Duvessa's story but I would love to read something like this!
