In the Odyssey, Odysseus gives the Cyclops an explicit detail about his name; he tells the Cyclops his real name is "Nobody". Odysseus and his crew are trapped inside the Cyclops' cave, so in order to escape, Odysseus comes up with a plan. Odysseus gets the Cyclops drunk and tells him his real name is "Nobody", so when he attacks him to escape, the Cyclops will scream he's being attacked by "Nobody".
