How Did Dark Hunter Code-Names Work?

Most Dark Hunters had code-names (Darkness, Gatherer), but some didn’t (Nidhiki, Lariska, Vezok). Is their a reason some of them lacked code-names? Or did they actually all have code-names, because in story we only see Lariska using that name among the Hunters and with Nidhiki to earn his trust, (and Nihdidki’s own lack of a code-name could be attributed to his notorious incompetence). Were some, like Krekka, simply because it wouldn’t matter if anyone knew their names? And, on a related note, why would it matter if anyone knew the Dark-Hunters’s real names?

The main question I have, though, is did the code-named Dark Hunters know each other’s real names, or refer to each other by their code-names?

(On a related note to this question, I always assumed that the Piraka’s Dark Hunter names were the Tracer, the Trigger, the Drifter, the Snake, the Beast, the Bully, all that makes… but that’s not canon, is it?)

To answer that last question, Greg’s been asked about the marketing nicknames being the Piraka’s code names. He said he doesn’t think so because he never liked them.
