My Name Is

Aside from the inability to choose our parents, it's also impossible for us to choose our names. You just wake up one day with the full understanding of what your name is and you compare it with others. You think it's ok to be named Hercules when you were in pre-school but then realized it sounded funny when you reached high school because you look so thin.

To enlighten everyone else who kinda share the dilemma of the above-mentioned names, we have a law that will allow you to change your name:

Republic Act No. 9048 dated March 22, 2001 provides the grounds for change of first name or nickname, to wit:

The petitioner finds the first name or nickname to be ridiculous, tainted with dishonor or merely difficult to write or pronounce;

The new first name or nickname has been habitually and continuously used by the petitioner and he has been publicly known by that first name or nickname in the community or;

The change will avoid confusion.


I'm not sure though if it's possible to change the last name. Hehe. Unless you get married of course. Ayala or Zobel? You choose. ;-)
