You can use either:
by, or, with.
"by"
He goes by the name of Smith.
There is nobody here (that goes) by that name.

I agree with Eliot, sometimes phrases in English don't make perfect sense until you expand the sentence fully:
"There is nobody here (known) by that name."
"With" is also correct; you can read the sentence at face-value:
"There is nobody here with that name."

Yeah. That example's just one of those things you have to memorize, to my knowledge.
