So the bureaucrats are winning (as they always do). Demanding that your name is written down in a specific way is just stupid. I always found it elitist when people insist on a specific spelling. Typical examples are "Philip/Phillip/Philipp", "Stefan/Stephan", "Harald/Harold", "Erik/Eric/Erich", "Michael/Michel/Mikail" and so on... all these variations refer to the same name. Different dialect, different language, the spelling varies. So what? It's still the same name! IMHO, the cited Article 16 doesn't necessarily demand a rectification of the spelling. This is about meaning, not syntax. But that's surely up to interpretation. |
