Say Goodbye to Tradition: Double Surnames Makes a Comeback with New Naming Rights! 🔥
Law endorsement of dual names: Frequent use of double names may resurface - Renewed Trend: Double Names on the Rise Once More
Are you tired of the same old naming game? Say goodbye to the traditional way of things because double surnames are making a comeback! Yep, you heard it right. Thanks to some new naming rights, married couples can now create a ** EPIC JOINT NAME (!!) ** by combining both partners' surnames with a hyphen, if they so desire (e.g., Schmidt-Müller). So kiss the olden days goodbye where only one partner could append their original surname to their spouse's name.
But here's the catch: to prevent name chains, the new double name can only be formed from TWO OR LESS individual names , says the federal government. So sorry, Max and Erika Mustermann-Mueller-Meier, wordy combinations are OUT!
Even if you're not into double surnames, the new naming rights have exciting news for your kids too. If parents decide not to choose a family name for their child after birth, the child will automatically receive a double surname. Plus, the first family name that parents choose for a child will also apply to any future children they have together.
Minorities, you're covered too! The traditions of recognized minorities, like the Sorb minority in eastern Germany, where a woman's surname is traditionally extended, are now officially recognized.
