Bonjour,
I have lost my wallet but it has got my name on it / there is my name on it.
Par contre, "Does it have got " est impossible. c'est un mélange de conjugaison du verbe lexical have (Do you have a cat ?) et du verbe get au présent perfect (Have you got a cat ?) On ne met qu'un seul auxiliaire, qu'un seul "remorqueur" par verbe.

Hello!To pose it as a question: Has it got my name on it?
This expression could either have a literal meaning or a figurative one. I suspect that it's the latter.
I lost my wallet, but it's got my name on it (or in it). [i.e. it literally has my name on it or in it]
Often times, however, this expression means that someone is claiming ownership or possession of something. Usually something that they are looking forward to doing or buying:
"There is a piece of cake at home with my name on it."
[Literally: There is a piece of cake at home that belongs to me!]
Of course, your name isn't really on the cake, it just means that when you get home, you are looking forward to eating that piece of cake.
"Hey, look at that car over there! It's got my name on it."
Of course, the car doesn't have your name on it, but you intend to buy one just like it.
Someday, I am going to create an exercise of these wonderful English expressions. I was just thinking of some:
It's got my name on it.
It's up to you.
It was a piece of cake.
It was easy as pie.
See, I have a good start.

Bonjour,
Je pense qu'on pourrait dire: J'ai mis une option dessus.
Cordialement.

But the translation really depends on the context. Cirkas, can you give us anymore context to this question as to whether it might be a figurative expression or a literal one?<< Forum anglais: Questions sur l'anglais
