Will Gogol ever truly accept his name? How do you know?

It is difficult to ascertain whether Gogol will ever truly accept his name as the book "The Namesake" by Jhumpa Lahiri leaves this question open-ended. However, as the story progresses, Gogol undergoes a transformation in his understanding of identity and family heritage. He begins to appreciate the significance of his name and the connection it holds to his cultural roots. Thus, there is a possibility that Gogol may eventually come to accept his name, but it is left up to the reader's interpretation.
