Is that western name official (on birth certificate or passport) or informal?

  Could be both. Some have it in their formal identifications, but many don't.

    Yeah, and some get their Western name early, while some choose it as a teenager or so. Which sometimes leads to weird choices - I met a guy called "Nose", and a girl called "Money".
