There isn't really an initiation right. Covens usually have a type of "initiation" to new members around 18, but Wicca is something anyone can pick up and practice.

Depends on a bunch of factors, biggest being your path and if its coven or solitary. I'm guessing solitary, otherwise you would ask the coven. I did it on the full moon because that's what it said in my book [Wicca for Life by Raymond Buckland] but I know people who have done it on the new moon.

Be sure you are comfortable with the ceremony, it won't be the same if you're reading off a script, fidgeting, and second guessing yourself. Research different rituals to find the best one for you. Mine was nothing special, I used Bucklands as a guide, but mostly I spoke openly as to why I had chosen Wicca. Be sure to cleanse yourself and the area beforehand. Also, be sure you have everything before you close the circle. [You have no idea how many times my coven will reach for something mid-ritual only to realize its just outside the circle.] Is this at the beginning, middle, or end of your year and a day? Some people do three, two, or one, just curious because you should address your year and a day, either starting, how it is progressing, or what you have learned so far. I've noticed sincerity is very important in these solitary ceremonies because you are basically one on one with the Lord and Lady.

like i said, many people, many methods, most give basic guides for self-dedication as it is a personal journey.

for your magickal name, there are a few methods. easiest is to pick something you feel connected to. [example 'Pendragon'] next most common is your favourite animal and colour [like 'Silver Ravenwolf'] third is numerology, which the method many of my covenmates used. i was never a fan of it, so it changed a couple times until i found a name i really liked and went with it instead. on a piece of paper write the numbers 1-9 and the alphabet like so:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
a b c d e f g h i
j k l m n o p q r
s t u v w x y z

take your name and find you number [this should be your real name, but i'll use your username] c = 3 h = 8 i = 9 z = 8 o = 6 b = 2 a = 1 3+8+9+8+6+2+1= 37 [you need a 1-9 number so add again] 3+7= 10 [one last time] 1+0=1 so you need a name that equals 1 for your magick numerological name. [a lot of trial and error is required this way, hence the witch names like 'Robynne Moonbeam' [because spelling it 'Robin' wouldn't add up correctly]
