0 Right you can't forge a name. To forge means to create a fake copy of something and try to pass it off as the real thing. You can forge documents, signatures, banknotes, works of art etc. Her name isn't a copy of her real name, so it isn't a forgery.02br
00Forge/fake both work ok with documents etc. 0-
