What’s in a name? France overhauls rules on name changes • FRANCE 24 English

In this week’s edition of French Connections, we focus on something very important that follows you around your whole life: your name. While names can be a source of pride, they can also be a heavy burden for some. In France, changing your last name could be about to get a lot easier. French lawmakers are debating a bill that would simplify the procedure, especially for people who want to take their mother’s last name. We also look at the rules surrounding first names and some French favourites.
