Sorry, but, source?
There’s nothing I can find that suggests this is true other that Tibetan names are usually regular nouns and usually given by Lamas to the family. But in general it seems kids are named on their third day by the Lama. Not at 13 years. There’s nothing to suggest that they’re just called child until puberty.
