How many of them committed suicide? I think that they came here simply because their souls didn't have a chance to become either good or evil. If they could come here without committing suicide, then I doubt that Kuu or others did either. The suicides are simply the most tormented of them.

Spoiler for about the name and dreams:

Well I tought at first it was only Rakka and Reki that commit suicide, but watching it back, remember that Rakka was sent to work on the waterways and she found Kuu's name and has a new meaning there. When she asked the Toga why, he explained about the reborn name, and shown Rakka's name new meaning.

Since their name was based on their first dream they remember, I think that dream describe their sin, the situation how they died. When they finally atone and can let go, their name will be reborn into a new meaning and they can pass on to the next existance.

About their dreams, we didn't get to know what everyone dream looks like exactly. We only saw Reki and Rakka. But both of them remember only parts of their dreams. Rakka forgot about the bird until later on when she finally found that bones. While Reki only remember walking on a pebble road under the moonlight, she didn't remember the incoming train until the last moment.

We didn't get to know everyone else dream, but as Rekki dreams sounds like a normal dream someone walking under the moonlight, we don't know the exact situation of the other's dream, Kuu's dream could be that she overdose drugs. Hikari's dream could be she saw very bright car light or explosion.

But the dream was the key to their salvation, that's why the Toga pay very close attention to their dream and their name.

Spoiler for young haibane:

I'm not sure about the young haibane tho. I don't think they grow become older Haibane. Remember there is that time limit in 3 years they have to achieve the day of flight or they will disapear. Also I remember Kuu said that she's the youngest and she wanted a little sister when Rakka arived. So I'm guessing the young haibane are different situation entirely from the older Haibane as they do not follow the older Haibane tradition to name after their first dream.
