I thought that the John Hurt Doctor did something using the Doctor's real name in the far distant past, which explains why he has hidden his name. The Doctor's name has been secret from the start of the show and using the Time Wars as the reason would not make any sense. His part in the time wars has also been referenced by others and under the name of The Doctor.
so, i do not think the rumours are true.
HOWEVER, since this is Doctor Who, anything can be written in and it does not need to make sense or tie in with anything in the past.
For instance, in this last episode the Doctor mentioned that he should not cross his own timeline and how bad it is if he does but two (?) episodes ago he did just that (the one with the salvage operators). meh!
