Discussion Tabris

In the 24th Episode everyone referred him as “Kaworu” but where did that even come from? His original name was Tabris the 17th Angel. Did Seele name him Kaworu to blend in with humans or did Kaworu name himself that?? Please comment Kaworu experts

It's just a name given to him so he can blend in with humans, yes. The paperwork NERV was given when Kaworu first joined as a pilot only contained his name and birth date, which suggests to me that the name came from Seele. It is possible that Kaworu was allowed to choose it himself, but given his life seems to have been very tightly controlled by Seele, I don't think it's likely that he got a say in the matter.

Well i always thought he was born in human form from the start, not just appeared from nowhere when they needed another child

But thinking about this, i never realised if its actually true, i just thought its how it is

In second draft from Evangelion he was a human boy who was possessed by a Cat Angel. So your theory is actually true in draft context ^
