“苟姓爸爸怕女儿尴尬一起改姓敬”引关注，姓名可以随便改吗？

近日，“苟姓爸爸带女儿一起改姓敬”一事引发关注，相关话题登上热搜。

A father's decision to change his and his young daughter's surname from "Gou" to "Jing" has sparked widespread discussion online.

据现代快报报道，1月27日，网友敬先生发帖称，纪念自己和小女儿改姓成功。

敬先生表示，两年前小女儿约一岁时，就已成功办理了改姓手续，此次将相关内容分享出来，只是想留作纪念。

敬先生表示，“苟”字的发音与“狗”同音，他一直备受姓氏的困扰，小时候总被人起外号。

The man, now surnamed Jing, explained that he had long faced teasing and unwanted nicknames due to the pronunciation of "Gou", which sounds identical to the Chinese word for "dog".

敬先生说，9年前大女儿出生的时候，也是随他姓“苟”。在她准备上小学时，就让其随母改姓“徐”。二女儿出生后，他把用心取的小女儿的名字发上网后，却意外招来大量批评，于是想要为女儿改姓。

When his second daughter was born, he carefully chose a name for her but faced a wave of criticism after sharing it online. This ultimately led him to apply for a surname change for her.

His older daughter, born nine years ago, had already switched to her mother's surname "Xu" before starting primary school, partly to spare her similar childhood experiences.

苟先生曾表示：“我们不是随便改第三方姓。”听说苟姓是由“敬”姓演变而来，且家族里有人姓敬，所以长辈们同意改“敬”姓。

据公开报道，苟姓改敬姓并非孤例。在河南荥阳曾有苟姓村民集体改姓，河南登封上百名苟姓村民借鉴他们的做法，也进行了集体改姓。此后，全国多地陆续有苟姓居民成功改姓，但也有被拒案例。

The case is not isolated. In recent years, groups of residents with the surname "Gou" in places such as Henan's Xingyang and Dengfeng have collectively changed their surnames to "Jing". While such changes have been approved in many areas, some applications have been rejected.

据了解，敬姓为中国传统姓氏，最早可追溯至黄帝玄孙姬敬康，后衍生出妫姓分支。后晋时期因避高祖石敬瑭名讳，敬姓改为苟姓或文姓；北宋时因避赵匡胤祖父赵敬之讳，部分恢复的敬姓再次改回文姓；南宋时期又因避宋高宗赵构名讳，苟姓读音被改为上声，部分族人弃姓。清朝乾隆年间，四川南部县苟化兰因进士殿试被赐改敬姓，此后该地苟姓普遍改为敬姓。

律师解读

北京德和衡律师事务所高级合伙人马丽红律师表示，根据《中华人民共和国民法典》，自然人享有姓名权，有权依法决定、使用、变更或者许可他人使用自己的姓名，但是不得违背公序良俗。自然人应当随父姓或者母姓，但是有下列情形之一的，可以在父姓和母姓之外选取姓氏：

❶ 选取其他直系长辈血亲的姓氏；

❷ 因由法定扶养人以外的人扶养而选取扶养人姓氏；

❸ 有不违背公序良俗的其他正当理由。

公民在申请改名时，首先要符合户籍管理部门的规定流程，且不能因改名逃避法律责任、债务等；其次，名字不能违背公序良俗，如含有侮辱性、违背社会道德等不当内容；还应避免因频繁改名造成行政资源浪费、扰乱户籍管理秩序。

Under China's Civil Code, individuals have the right to change their names provided the change does not violate public order or good customs.

Lawyer Ma Lihong, a senior partner at Beijing DHH Law Firm, noted that while citizens may choose surnames beyond those of their parents under certain conditions, such as adopting the surname of another direct elder relative, name changes must follow legal procedures and should not be used to evade legal responsibilities or cause unnecessary administrative burden.

四川皓锦律师事务所合伙人李勇律师表示，按照《中华人民共和国民法典》的规定精神，公民申请更改姓名不应附加任何条件。因此，公安机关在制定行政规章时，不能仅考虑公共行政权力，还要考虑整个法律体系的一致性。若符合法定条件仍被拒绝，公民可向上级公安机关提出行政复议或提起行政诉讼。
