Recruiting younger brothers and Yi Xi, the troubles caused by names
Yi Chu has three sisters and one younger brother. She understands that her parents are occasionally biased, but she feels a little aggrieved when it comes to her name, "Why should I use my name to express my parents' thoughts?"
When she was in fifth or sixth grade, she had the idea of changing her name. . She felt very embarrassed when the teacher called her by name in class and when she went out to do errands. When working, customers would see her badge and ask her half-jokingly: "Did you recruit a younger brother?"
After much thought, she decided to change her name. Her parents didn't take it seriously, thinking that the name was just a code name and there was no need to bother with it, but they didn't interfere with her actions. She made up her mind, read a lot of experience sharing on successful name changes on the Internet, prepared the information, and applied to the police station.

Is choosing a "weird name" unconventional or causing trouble for your children? Can the name of
be changed? Yes, but not recommended
What is your last name? May I ask your surname? In ancient times, a person's name represented his status, ethnic background and family's long-cherished wishes.
The ancients valued their names and would not change their names easily unless they couldn't bear it. Sima Xiangru, a great writer in the Western Han Dynasty, was originally named "Quinzi", which means "two dogs". When he grew up, Sima Quanzi felt that his name was really indecent, and his idol was Lin Xiangru, a famous minister of the Warring States Period, so he simply changed his name to "Xiangru".
The reasons why modern people change their names are similar to those of the ancients. Due to the different eras between parents and children, children will inevitably be dissatisfied with their names when they grow up, such as "You Yongchi, Du Ziteng, Zhu Yiqun..." Names with homophonic sounds, as well as names with uncommon characters, such as 燊(shēn), 彧(yù), 廑(jǐn), etc., will cause trouble to the person concerned.
Can the name be changed? The answer is yes, but not recommended.
"Because the name change involves the change of the party's household registration information, school graduation information, social security information, mobile phone card and bank card information and many other social relationship information, it is more cumbersome. However, if the party has legitimate reasons, such as the name is ambiguous, homophonic or has a If you have unusual characters, you can submit a 'name change application' to the police station of your place of residence according to the prescribed procedures," Police Officer Sun of the Zhengzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau told reporters.
It is worth noting that when residents apply to change their names, they must not violate public order and good customs, nor harm social and public interests. They must have legitimate reasons and comply with laws and policies. Those who are under 18 years old should apply for it by their parents or their guardians; those who are over 16 years old but under 18 years old and rely on their labor income as their main source of living should apply for it themselves; those who are over 18 years old should apply for it themselves.
