Abstract

This article analyzes a citizen’s name and other means of individualizing it. Attention is drawn to the rules for assigning a name when registering a child and the restrictions on parents’ rights in this area. The requirements for a name are defined, and its influence on such a means of individualizing a citizen as a handwritten signature is established. The most pressing problems related to the use of a name are identified. Attention is drawn to the problems associated with changing a name due to a change of gender. Judicial practice related to indicating a citizen’s national origin is analysed. Attention is drawn to the connection between the family‑law and civil‑law statuses of a citizen, as well as the problem of their digital profile.
