you know---ONE of you is suspiciously CLOSE to guessing my real name! Wolf knows what it is of course (she has to, for bail reasons) so maybe you should try bribing her?
I'll give you a hint: it's not Bernadette, or Brigid, or any of those conflagurations. It's a name that could be Latin or French. And, it has an "A" in it. It's gross. I hate it. I would've killed to be a Niki, or a Jennifer, or similar.

Not Mulva. Not Delores. Not Wanda (although, I once was called a Wicked Wanda) and not Bertha. Not hyphenated. Shakespeare used a form of my real name in a play. That's it! No more hints! you'll guess it and then have power over me!

Wow, Hobbs! Impressive! BUT! I only said he used a FORM of my name---coulda been a MALE character---a feminization of a guy's name, couldn't it?

Let's see. French-Canuck, Irish, Catholic. Form used in Shakespeare. Contains "A".
From Hobbs' helpful list, Francisca and Margaret seem to fit best. Of the two, Margaret has the most variants...the most French being Marguerite. Similar Gaelic names are Marge, Madge, etc. But Margaret isn't an iconic Shakespearian character, and that connection isn't likely to be made for most people....unless Bri is misdirecting us... I've thought myself into a corner. I need one more clue. Till then, I guess Margaret. edit: crap, didn't think of male names. List, Hobbs?
