This is not a paradox though, is it? One can argue that you sometimes tell the opposite of the truth, and this is one of those times.

Liar's Paradox doesn't have a name.

"Liar's paradox" is the "name" I discovered in this list today, to describe this kind of paradox. It has a wikipedia page, and pages in other encyclopaedias under this title. So I guess this is the most recognized name for it.

And now for something completely different: does the Liar's paradox name has a name? We know, due to the White Knight via Lewis Carroll, that e.g. the name of the song "A-sitting On A Gate" is actually "The Aged Aged Man" — are there other examples of such curious nomenclature?

Sorry, that was a tongue-in-cheek comment, to create another paradox. I should have been more clear.

Well, I used the word "always" to make sure noone can argue I sometimes tell the truth. I am not sure I understand your point.

Yes, but using "always" makes it a non-paradox. If you are someone who sometimes tells the truth you might have also said this sentence, which would make it (the sentence) simply "not true" instead of a paradox.

To disprove an universal quantification you need just a counter example of one instance, hence you are introducing an easy weakness
