My attempt at an answer, for the fun of the intellectual challenge and to see if i understand darth after reading him for so long.
A name is not something you possess like an object. Rather, it's a label assigned, often without your consent, at birth. This label is a tool, used by others to identify you within societal constructs, but it does not define or control you as an individual.
As for a law forcing you to have a name, no natural law would mandate this, as natural law principles revolve around inherent rights and duties derived from human nature itself. Naming is a societal imposition, typically enforced by legal systems for administrative ease: tracking people, creating records, and imposing obligations. But if you believe in sovereignty, you would argue that any authority requiring you to have a name only has power over you if you consent to it. In the eyes of a true sovereign individual, you are not bound by any law or system you haven't explicitly agreed to. The name might exist on paper, but it does not hold power over your essence or autonomy unless you allow it.
You are close to the whole answer. But you stopped at the entrance, didn't go further.
