If you happen to be otherkin, then in the process of awakening, you will likely begin to learn about your perceived spiritual or prior form, and likely tend to base an online, or spiritual identity around it, as well you will likely seek a name for said identity.
How you choose to portray or even if you choose to portray an otherkin identity for yourself is your own personal decision, simply understand that over the Internet, nothing is private, ever, so remember to be responsible and use whatever common sense you deem necessary so as not to bring negative attention to yourself or others.
As for how to learn your otherkin name, if such exists, the process differs for the individual, the name Jafira came to me while camping in the woods, it just popped into my head. The name Korageth was heard in a dream in which I perceived my death as a dragon, the name Veltra came to me as a breeze brushed past me while enjoying the view atop a mountain. For others their names come to them in other ways, most everyone has their own unique story, a name will come to you in time.
Remember, that there is a possibility that you, in a prior life or form, had no name, or that it may simply be lost to your spirit and history. There is nothing preventing you from choosing or creating a name that has meaning to you. Just make something up that means something to you, and change it in the future should something come up. Overall it is the meaning and how the name identifies to you on an emotional level that matters, the rest resolves itself in time.
