I now suspect you used 'may not' as 'is not allowed to', 
not 'may not' as 'does/is possibly not'.

Well, a name does not 'use' characters, methinks.

Indeed he could be quite a 'character', 'using' such a name, 
or then again, perhaps not.

[the spelling 'Binyomin' wit an 'y' seems strictly English]

Why?

I doubt parent 'formally' give names to babies,
they just register such the name[s],
at the registry office [or a religious equivalent person?] in England
or to the the officer of the état civile in states under Napoleontic law.

Perhaps we should elucidate 'formal'.

Surely all babies are 'new', aren't they?
Or is this 'Binyomin' of yours an old one?

What is so 'informal' with such registration?

What is the argument?

Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso, should I prefer to consider him, why?
