What is TF's actual name?

Am I the only one who thought it was really awkward for Graves to be using "TF" as an abbreviation? It would make more sense for Graves to know and use TF's real name in the same way that TF says "Malcolm" instead of calling his old partner by his last name.

A related question: I was under the impression that Twisted Fate was a moniker gained after the experiment granted him magical powers. Did he seriously call himself Twisted Fate before the experiment? Because that's kind of tacky.

Anyway, other than a few really clumsy exposition lines, that was the only major issue I had with Act 1. Good work, narrative... for now.

Edit: Act 2 has an answer!

His real name is

Twisted Fate

We don't pick our parents, okay?

Could be that TF's real name has the initials "TF". The "Twisted Fate" moniker might have come afterwards. Graves probably called Twisted Fate "TF" during their con days (the real name is probably quite long) and then kept using it after TF's name change because he refuses to actually call him "Twisted Fate".

Ok so in Act 2 part 2 of the Bilgewater story we learn of TF's first name, it's Tobias, I would really like if his surname is Fortune !

Perhaps it's a barkeep situation, he's been called Twisted Fate for so long that everybody forgot his real name, including himself.

He was a gypsy. Some sort of name from the romanian region might work
