Towards the end of the chapter, a drunk Moushumi unwittingly discloses Gogol's name change to her friends. They had been discussing baby names and one of her friends said that if the baby didn't like his name, then he could change it. Gogol is upset at Moushumi for giving his secret away, but more upset that he can't explain to them the real reason behind his old name. Then when someone mentions that a perfect name will come for the baby, Gogol disagrees and proposes letting the baby pick a name for himself when he's 18. So, before then, the child would be referred to with pronouns.
I think this theory isn't all too ridiculous. It seems wrong to call a person "she/he" all their life, but wouldn't that just be better than giving a name that they don't like? That child may turn out to be like Gogol, despising his name for most of his early life. The child can't blame his parents for naming him a name he doesn't want. If children have that freedom to choose their own name in the future, then they have that sense of power and control over their own lives.
