Just jumping in while listening to this episode to say that Uther does call Merlin by his name. Twice, as far as I can tell. One time, like the two of you said, in 5×03 when he tries to tell Arthur: »Merlin is a..[sorcerer]« and the other time is in The Witchfinder in season 2 (I just watched this episode and coincidentally had to giggle myself because I reaslised Uther called Merlin by his name. So this might be the only time he really does?). Anyway, Aredian accuse Merlin to be a sorcerer and wants the guards to search his rooms. Uther addresses Merlin directly my saying: »Merlin?« and Merlin answers him: »I have nothing to hide from him«. If I find more, I’ll let you know 🙂
