I know you're nervous but try not to be. 
You don't need all that added stress. That you are even aware of your alters and their names is actually a good thing. And the fact that you're young will also be beneficial to you. Most people don't present for treatment until their thirties and forties, (or later) because most are unaware that they have DID. So it's great that you'll be getting some help now and not later.
If you already told him you're experiencing some dissociation, he may give you some tests. There are a few that are used to determine where you fall in the range of dissociation. That will be of great help and will aid him in his diagnosis.
Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Dissociative disorders (SCID-D)
The Dissociative Disorders Interview Schedule (DDIS)
The Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES)
Those should help him come to his own conclusions without you having to tell him straight out if you don't want to.
Maybe someone else will have a better idea.
Keep us posted.
