Female V is Valerie. Male is Vincent. As for 'why does no-one know who it is?', it's rather tenuously handwaved away when you visit Vik - no camera can see your face.

Vincent

Yeah, its Vincent/Valerie, he/she does even say it at some point.

As to why evereyone calls you "V"? For the same reason you can pick a name in Skyrim, but noone will ever call you by it. Voiceover costs. By picking gender-neutral "V" you just need one npc voice line per language. Saves a fortune.

For Fallout 4 it was a big gimick that your robot butler can pronounce hundreds of different names. Everyone else still carefully avoids your name.

In skyrim you are The Dragonborn, in FANV The Courier. In Fallout 4 The Sole Suvivor, in Fallout 3 The Vault Dweller (thats the Bethesda way of handling that, starting with Morrowinds The Nerevarine). In KCD your are Henry and in TW1-3 you are Gerald (because in both you play one pre-defined character). And in Cyberpunk you are V.

Yep one of the dolls in Clouds will say your "true name" ( :p ) when they are dissecting your memories during your time with them and they become super wise due to their doll programming. It's when you're trying to find Evelyn .

Goddess, really.
Valerie. And don't you dare speak her name, she even tells the one whom spoke it to call her only 'V'.

She only tells her real name to family and those she considers as such, you find that out in-game.

That's only part of the reason, the real reason is that nobody wants to.

Yorinobu Arasaka has already blamed his fathers murder on Goro by the time you wake up in the landfill (Goro was loyal to Saburo, even after his death, so Yorinobu made him the fall-guy to strike two birds with one stone). Yorinobu has no reason to care about you, he knows you didn't kill his father, because he did that himself, and he nolonger needs the chip now that he's the new Empror of Japan, and his dear old dad can't use it to replace him anymore.
He wants Goro dead, because Goro is a loose end, but you? You was just home, and what's a lone Merc like you gonna do to him now that he's the most powerful man on Earth? The only person who could really oppose him now is Hanako Arasaka.

Which leads us to Hanako, who straight up tells you that nobody at Arasaka actually belived Saburo was poisined, they all knew Yorinobu killed him. Hanako is just trying to play along untill the parade happens, at this point she realizes that Yorinobu is likely going to have her killed too, so now she becomes desperate enough to act. The moment she does, she finds you. They could have found you any time they wanted, but you didn't matter to the Arasaka's untill this moment.

They were preocupied playing a grand political game on a global scale, you, you are just not that important. Infact, going after you would be counterproductive. Yorinobu wants everyone to belive Goro killed the old man, and nobody wants to gainsay him, lest they loose their heads in the process..

The moment this changes, and Hanako decides that she can use you as a pawn in this game, she has you tracked down. Stat.

As for all the other Merc work you do in the game, eh, you're just the delivery girl, hired help, and if you haden't taken the job some other Merc would have done so in your place. It's just biz, nothing personal. If there are any axes to be ground, it would make more sense to direct that ire twords the client who hired you for the job, rather than you.

I get all the spoiler stuff, that makes sense, as for Corpos, and truly most anyone else whom wants to do more harm than good, feathering their own nest. Regardless of this fact, you are minimizing our role in all these jobs. You sound like a Corpo whom thinks so little of the people whom 'make it happen'. Pretty much like those execs IRL whom only care about their 'bottom line' and their 'bonus', regardless of all those 'worker bee' people whom earned that sh*t for you to take advantage of and gave little to nothing in return to them.

Because that's precisely how Night City sees you, as just another cog in the machine. It's not a very nice place, if you haden't noticed..

It's Vincent and Valerie, they say it 1 time during game and V tells them no one calls them by their name
