This is the case with my Miqo'te. Â Right now, her name reflects the family that found and raised her and she has no idea what her true birth name is (she has almost no memory from before being found by her adoptive parents, save a few brief flashes).
However, I do plan to give her a proper name at some point, even if it isn't reflected in the character name as seen in world. Â But I expect her search for who she is and her history to be a long one with so little info to go on, and it didn't make any sense to me to name her by a Miqo'te name if it takes more than a few weeks or months to learn who she really is.
