Nui mentioned that if the Tokoyami was near, you could use another name, and in a sense wiping away your past memories and acquiring a new identity. Yoki , in the subs, was going thru the process saying, "What is my name?" followed by "What am I supposed to do in times like this?"

If he knew his name and then willingly changed it, that implies something different then just forgetting your name and only remembering "Ginko". Of course, facing a possible fate like that (becoming a Tokoyami) and the loss of a mother and mother-figure would make me want to forget it too.

But it was all for naught in the end, because he became a wanderer anyway.

that's right. I became to understand the meaning of your post after finished watching ep 12.

Spoiler:

Very sad to note that after all Ginko is not a hero in the shiny armour trying to save the other lives rather than trying to save his own soul according to his fate.I was shocked when Nui turned into a bright light near the pond and the background sound became louder.This is the second time we had a chance to know about Ginko himself.
