Dear Sir
I wanted to give new surname to my son, is there any restrictions or law stopping me to keep this ?
Please help me in thak regard
A.Hi,
The son's name should be regarded as the original name at the moment of birth. However, there are other ways to alter a person's name. The most common approach is to file an affidavit and then have it published in a local newspaper. There is no prohibition against changing your name, but if your family has a tradition that stops you from doing so, you must challenge it.
Thank you. Kindly rate the answer.
