Freshly nationalized. Now Switzerland decides my second baby’s name In my country of origin we have 2 second names: one from each parent. So I got the Swiss nationality some months ago, while pregnant with my second baby. My first kid got it automatically too so his family names are already like in our country of origin. But because I got it before my second was born a couple of months ago, she gets my two second names, so as my sisters. We have tried to explain the authorities that we have the double nationality and how are things there but they can’t do anything. It’s the Swiss law that says that she is Swiss and here it’s only one name allowed, so it needs to be mine because I am now Swiss (my partner and I are not married). And before anyone asks, no, I wasn’t aware of this and didn’t get informed about it in the whole process. So now my 2 kids (same father) have different names and my daughter has 2 different names, depending on which passport she shows. submitted by /u/qrious_2023
