This, coupled with the fact that Truenamer is a paradox, is probably the only thing keeping it from existing.

It would require probably a 2nd level Utterance, 2nd level arcane spells, the Truename Training feat and say 9 ranks of Truespeak.

Features might be increased ability with Truename Spells, the ability to sacrifice spells for bonuses to truespeak, and maybe a way to combine utterances with spells.
