× When I was a little child I don't care and I never know the meaning behind my name.
✓ When I was a little child I didn't care and I never knew the meaning behind my name.
The sentence refers to past time ('When I was a little child'), so the verbs should be in the past tense. 'Don't care' and 'never know' are present tense forms, which is incorrect here. Use 'didn't care' and 'never knew' to match the past context.
× After teenager I realized that my name has the meaning like the Super busy man.
✓ After my teenage years, I realized that my name has the meaning of a super busy man.
The phrase 'After teenager' is incorrect; it should be 'After my teenage years' or 'After I became a teenager'. Also, 'has the meaning like' is awkward; better to say 'has the meaning of'. The verb 'realized' is correctly in past tense.
× Well, I would combine my last name and my wife's last name and some meaning depend on our children.
✓ Well, I would combine my last name and my wife's last name and choose some meaning depending on our children.
The phrase 'some meaning depend on our children' is grammatically incorrect. It should be 'choose some meaning depending on our children' to correctly express the idea that the meaning depends on the children.
× No they doesn't have my name was a unique ones.
✓ No, they don't have my name; it was unique.
'They doesn't' is incorrect; the correct form is 'they don't' for plural subjects. Also, 'my name was a unique ones' is wrong because 'name' is singular and 'ones' is plural. It should be 'it was unique'.
× Oh but my brother had one similar to me.
✓ Oh, but my brother has one similar to mine.
The sentence refers to a current state, so present tense 'has' is appropriate. Also, 'similar to me' should be 'similar to mine' to correctly compare possession.
