How are spirit names given?

Few spirits in spirit life are called by the names they bore on earth. 

A child on earth is named—or  christened shortly after its birth. 

A spirit is named shortly after arriving here unless it greatly desires to be called by the name it bore on earth. 

A great many people do not like the names they were called by on earth, and when they get here choose some pretty and appropriate name that suits and pleases them. 

The old name has fallen away from them like the old body, and it is often distasteful and hard for them to pick it up again—small children do not even know what their names were.
