It would be cool if all babies were just given a number or something at birth to be used until the child was old enough to decide what their name should be. The in-between process could be a little weird though. amirite?
old enough to pick their own name doesn't mean old enough to pick a good name. this was a joke on 30 rock when a guy raised his kids this way. someone else told him it was idiotic & he said "no! my son, spiderman, turned out just fine, thank you very much!"

No because then they will choose an awful name when they are young that they will regret.

I'd much rather just be handed a name than have to pick my own; that would be way to much pressure.

The kid would never be able to decide on a name. They'd want something when they were 5 and then regret it for the rest of their lives.
NO! READ THE BOOK THE GIVER AND YOU'LL UNDERSTAND.
I've read it.
