This is a fun thing to think about! Also, to a point it's great to talk about in character because someone can always react to whatever name they're being called.
Jancis' background has name as a large factor of her character reaction because she ended up choosing her own name out of a fictional book she read.
She finds nicknames or someone giving her a name a very large honor. Giving someone a name comes from an impression or feeling that person, so it comes from the heart (be it sarcastic or sincere) and that person has made an impact on them. It's a very connecting experience to Jancis.
I know this isn't exactly a name but titles also fall into it because it's kind of a given importance and attached to a name, giving it worth. Jancis is infamous for this habit, calling anyone by "Lord" and "Lady" regardless of social status. She'll change over to "Sir" "Master" sometimes depending on what she's told, but when people aren't around she'll put titles on their names. "Lady Hornet" "Sir Iono"
Considering her nomad childhood, and polite manner, it's kind of an inside secret to 'fight the machine' by making everyone as important as everyone else.
