Monk Basher wasn't named by his parents. He was named by his godparents after his mother died after he was born and and his father was shot at a highway shooting while driving to the hospital.

At 14 his grandfather, who won his custody battle with no meaningful resistance from his godparents despite their fierce opposition when he was 6, died due to old age, leaving his parents somewhat hefty inheritance to him. Using his decent smarts and maybe a few legal loopholes, he was able to convince the courts that he was better left with full autonomy, and lived off of his inheritance until he could sustain himself as a content creator on multiple different platforms.

At the wise old age of 18, he was whisked away by a subgodiary to be given a realm and tasked with improving it, amongst thousands of others that he would probably never meet again.
