How can a child's name be changed

If we insist on reflection when choosing the name of your baby, it is because we know that the name can determine the personality of your child. That is why we are not in favor of putting extravagant names, weird names or even familiar names to please any of our grandparents. Over the months, you ca

Over the months, you can regret the name you have given your baby and the truth is that it is not easy to change in the Registry the name of a child already enrolled. Common sense is imposed when choosing the name that your baby will have to carry throughout his life. Reasons to change the baby's name

Many people wonder what

motive there would be to change the name you have already chosen for your baby. But some families have seen and will continue to be seen in this difficult situation of having to change the name because it really does not fit with your child. And the reasons are as varied as families and children are. We know the case of several mothers who have found the surprise of a name for their child that they had not chosen. Your partner, taking advantage of your stay in the hospital after delivery, have registered their babies in the Civil Registry with a name that had not been agreed by the family. They are

extreme cases , but there are.On other occasions, it is

repentance for having chosen an extravagant name, difficult to pronounce or even the name of a famous character who over time have stopped admiring the reason why they want to change the name of the baby. And other times, they simply see that the name chosen does not fit the personality of their baby and they are unable to call him by that name. How to change the name of the baby in the Civil Registry

We warn that changing the name of your baby is not an easy task. The judges are not supporters of these changes and the process can go on for years. Of course, it is much easier to change the name once the

adult age comes than to change the name of your child. In any case, the change of name is not usually achieved before 5 years of age. The cases that judges contemplate in order to change the name of a baby already registered in the registry are several. They take into account that the name is

difficult to pronounce , in which case they simply adapt the spelling to the mother tongue. They are the easiest cases. They also take into account if the chosen name can provoke teasing, disparagement or hinder their integration with other children.However, the most frequent case, that of wanting to change the name of a baby because the one chosen in the first place does not fit us, is more difficult. In the first place, parents must prove that they have never called their baby by the name with which they are enrolled. It is about certifying that for

at least 2 years the child has been called with another name and that in most of the documents (nursery, swimming pool, library, etc.) it has the same name. Laura Vélez
