This has a double purpose. The first is to show that we believe that through Baptism one is born again, this time into the Mystical Body of Christ (or the Church if you prefer). The second is a bit more in depth. When choosing a baptismal name, one must pick the name of an officially canonized Saint. That Saint then becomes their patron and intercedes for them in Heaven before the throne of God.

Why do churches confirm people who are baptized?
Churches confirm the baptized because often the baptism was done to an infant with God Parents affirming the promises: renounce the devil, believe and follow Jesus Christ, and usually believe the Apostles' Creed. When the child comes to the age of reason, often around thirteen years, the child then personally confirms these promises made on his behalf in the rite called Confirmation. Many churches also affirm the Christian name of the child at baptism, usually, but not always, the given name. Some churches encourage the child to select a personally meaningful private name for use at confirmation. In ancient times, and still in some places, the record of baptism is the earliest official record of a birth.
In the early days of confirmation did they choose names?
No, in the early days, and still today in all Rites of the Church, except the Latin Rite, the sacrament of confirmation is given immediately after baptism. Thus the name is given at baptism, and not repeated immediately afterward.
