Question

Rabbi: I know it would be more proper for me to consult a qualified rabbi, but that is not possible right now. The questions that I have for you are very straightforward: -In the case of a ger, when is the naming to be done? Is it done during the brit mila or after the tevila? -In the case that it should be done after the tevila, is the brit mila considered pasul (not acceptable) if the naming is done during the mila? Is the naming not valid in that case? Thankyou again

Name him anytime you like & you can change it once a week, too. Who is the Rabbi converting him? Shouldn't he know some of this? AA
