In parts of India it's common not to assign a child's first name when they're born. My birth certificate says "baby Beri". "Satvik" didn't come about until I was ~6 months old, and I have relatives who had no official first name until they were 12-14 years old!
I have two friends who didn't have last names until they moved to the US and were forced to make some up.
