Since the interviewer commented on his name, 云龙, she must already think the name is unusual, or she would not have mentioned it.

@Pedroski, "*柳（云龙）先生，这个名字是谁给你取的(名字）？ Is that where 的 comes from?*", I think this is correct.

柳云龙 is being interviewed. The interviewer asked:

柳（云龙）先生，谁给你取的这个名字？  
Mr Liu (Clouddragon or Speakingdragon, not sure??), who chose this name for you?

She used 的. Why not write 了？

柳（云龙）先生，谁给你取了这个名字？

I think I can rearrange thus:

柳（云龙）先生，这个名字是谁给你取的(名字）？ Is that where 的 comes from?

PS: I know a guy called 许成龙， I always ask him when he will finally become a dragon. He's not sure.

谁给你取的这个名字？ conveys where you got the name or **who** give you that name.

谁给你取了这个名字？ sounds like who have given you **such** a name, implying who have done that naming because that name might sound *unusual*, weird/ridiculous/etc.
