Pick a name and use it for every guard, except switch the first consonant every time.

They will get a kick out of it a few times, and then slowly learn that there's no point in asking the guard's name.

Lambert, Hambert, Tambert, Kambert, and Dambert all come from a long lineage of esteemed city guards :)

They told me. I was at work and introducing myself to someone new. Looking back now, I think it was a girl I went to highschool with but her name most certainly wasn't Fobertleigh back then.

I think in my dreams I already know who they are whether it's someone I know IRL or it's someone completely imaginary.

I rarely have sound in my dreams. I hear fine (when awake), just... don't bother rendering that part when I'm asleep!

I talk with people in dreams, sure; but there's no dialogue - I just kind of know what's been said.
