When you future date an ABN it doesn't automatically get completed straight away in all our systems. As the date is in the future, most of the account features that need to be created are done at periods of time that the system deems appropriate. So in general if you had created an ABN that had just started you would be able to but since you haven't you will most likely only be able to register GST on the 01/02/2023. As for registering a business name (https://asic.gov.au/for-business/registering-a-business-name/) that is something that you will need to discuss with the Australian Securities & Investments Commission.
