I suppose that a counterexample to this might be Tibetan children, who get named at puberty, IIRC. Before that, they have no names. They are just referred to as “child” or “somebody’s child”.
People’s names are all mapped in Unicode code points.
I suppose a counterexample to that might be cultures which do not use script in general. Then, obviously, there’s no Unicode characters for these non-existant glyphs.
Ah, so it dovetails with the whole “children get a name reasonably fast” thing. I was interpreting that as “ever, in a natural lifespan”. My bad, haha.

True, but there’s little risk of a name being entered into a form without some kind of transcription.
