THE CHILD’S RIGHT TO A NAME
THE CHILD’S RIGHT TO A NAME

Summary/Abstract: The article conducts a detailed examination of the child’s right to a name as an expression of the minor child’s right to establish and preserve his or her identity. The scope of the approach is a complex one that depicts both incidental and national European regulations. While the Civil Code represents the seat of the common law matter, the Law no. 272/2004 on the protection and promotion of the rights of the child establishes a series of measures that must be taken so that the right of the child to a name is realized and thus, is guaranteed to all children without any discrimination. At the same time, taking into account the dynamics of society in an evolutionary context, attention was paid to cases and situations requiring a name change, this study being a useful tool for legal professionals, child protection authorities, students from the faculties in the field, parents, as well as any other practitioners or organizations whose purpose is to ensure the legal protection of the rights of the child.
