<p>My theory about its "real name" is, either Towako, the name of hakumen's avatar, maybe Hakumen named its avatar the real name for self-satisfaction? and the second probable name, is kirio/Inasa, as in Kirio Inasa, the boy whom it kidnapped. after the kidnapping, it probably change his name as it likes. </p>

<p>I personally think, Towako is the "Real name". </p>

Hakumen's Enthusiast
<p>In my opinion i think Hakumen’s real name might have something to do with the baby shown as he vaporizes and yin/yang because in the end he does not fall as negative ki which creates other youkai, but he floats upwards as positive ki. Maybe in the end he died a peaceful death and he could now be reborn as a human, not a mass of hate.We can also assume he would have a woman name since his voice when he whispers “The name i was called was...” is a feminine one.</p>

<p>In the anime climax, Hakumen no Mono vaporizes, saying</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>My name is not Hakumen.<br>
  The name I wanted to be called is...</p>
</blockquote>

<p>What was that name? I don't see any reference anywhere on what that name was.<br></p>

"Hakumen no Mono" is a title/epithet, meaning "the white-faced one". My inference is that Hakumen had an actual personal name (which is never revealed) by which it wanted to be called.
