Yeah, I remember that tidbit about Kobolds and Hobgoblins too, so I'd wager the Kobolds are just a bit higher. Perhaps in between Hobgoblins and Half-Lords, with Kobold Samurai being in between Half-Lords and Lords. Lords are also considered to be on the same level as Dragonewts. Not sure about Dragotaurs, but Centaurs seem to be below Half-Lords judging by Rou's thoughts on recruiting the Empire slaves after the Elf-Empire war.

The only stated cause for a monster receiving a true name is that "they get one after attaining a certain level of existence".

We don't know if they have true names, but Rou doesn't receive a notification of that happening anyway. Only the one who receives the true name does. Rou did learn the true names of everyone in the 8 Generals at the Crusade's climax, though. Before that, he had to have been told by the others first what their true names were.
