Hi, I hope this can help you. casual: だれがあなた(に/の)名前を付けたの? Dare ga anata ni/no namae wo tsuketa no? polite: だれがあなた(に/の)名前を付けたのですか? Dare ga anata ni/no namae wo tsuketa no desuka? に/の,Both OK. The verb 'つける(付ける)' has many usages like 'put' or 'Put on'. 付ける:Tsukeru(v) 付けた:Tsuketa(v.p) パンにバターを付ける (spread) butter on bread. むねになまえを付ける (put) name on his chest. 本にタイトルを付ける (give) a title to a book. He 'named' his son Ken. 彼はむすこにケンと'名付けた'。(concise) 彼はむすこにケンという名前を付けた。 He gave his son a name "Ken". (direct translation. in English it's roundabout but in Japanese natural.) Good luck!

"Who gave you your name?" 「名付け親は誰ですか?」 This is a more natural expression in Japanese. Hope this helps
