If there is only a single paper and "we" wrote our names on the paper,

"Our teacher told us to write our names on the paper."
"Our teacher told us to write our name on the paper."

that is, both in singular and prural form?

Thank you for your help.
Yes, you could. Of the two, I prefer the plural "names".
