Your second clue shows 7 letters,not 8 ?

Thank you turnerjmw and TheWinner
Can you explain the answer (OK I'm probably VERY thick!)

[turnerjmw]

Anagram of BLOODLINE and A NAME, I should think. Can you double check how many letters and the ones you have in 8dn? Ta

[turnerjmw]

Sorry, should have said it's a famous song from Verdi's Rigoletto, sung by the Duke of Mantua. And I meant we need to know everything you have about 1dn. Thanks

The first answer by myself and Turnerjmw is correct.
If, 'we need to know everything you have' is the second clue, how many letters, and are the letters you have given us correct?
