What's in a name? Disgrace and shame?

I was talking with a friend the other day and she told me how her father assigned a male nick name for her mother should he have to call her in the presence of his male friends.
I wonder why many men in Yemen and some Arab countries avoid mentioning the name of a female relative in front of male strangers. What is so disgraceful in that?
