    If you're given only two points (the vertex and one point on one of the rays), is it still possible to name the angle?

    No, you wouldn't even have an angle in that case. You have to be able to define two intersecting rays before you have an angle, and it always takes at least two points to define a ray. So you'd need a minimum of three points to make an angle.

    Can I name angles with numbers?

    Yes, but it could be confusing, since each angle could also be identified by the number of degrees it contains. Naming with letters could eliminate the confusion.
