Babies who get dropped off at the temple who don’t have names are named by the Crèche masters and caretakers, the same for those who find children abandoned in the wilderness— and some are named by the people who find them.
For some this name is temporary.
To the Jedi, names are both important and not. They can become transient, they can be left behind— As long as one is alright with it.
But there is love in your first name, the name you have as a child and carry through your padawanship.
As a Knight you have an option to change your name officially with no need to go through the paperwork process. Most choose to keep their names but some absolutely detach.
You can also choose to drop a name, or chose to add one.
Tholme dropped his family name, he had no wish to stay connected.
Cin kept his family name, but changed his given.
Fay never had a last name, and chose to keep it that way.
Scout plans on changing her name fully to just “Scout” or putting it before her actual name— she loves the nickname that her friends have given her, after all.
