I shouldn't have written down my name vs I shouldn't have wrote down my name

Both phrases are similar, but the correct one is 'I shouldn't have written down my name.' 'Written' is the past participle form of the verb 'write,' which is used after 'have' in perfect tenses. 'Wrote' is the simple past form of 'write,' which is not suitable in this context.
