before you left a hospital when you were born.you would have been given a first name and a last name even if the nurse had to make one up..

but you can always change it when you turn 18...


Raven
No, no you don't. Your parents chose it at birth and if adopted those parents will choose the new one or leave it the same. You don't get to name yourself.

Alex, i don't think you get to choose your name if your an orphan

No, you are either named at birth or by your adoptive parents.

The person that looks after you, or the new people who adopt you will get to choose your name. However, there are always options to change your name when your older. You can still change your name even if you aren't an orphan.
