You can not build your whole life on stupid aspirations as preached by Deli-kizin..
Consider carefully...Why should you ever wish to insult Ataturk?

Quoting Deli_kizin: Inankur, I really hope that you understood this wrong and that adopting a Turkish name is not a requirement for a Turkish nationality!
Right now I can say I never want one. Think of it, you make a bad comment about Atatürk and suddenly you will be put in jail for something all your life you have thought to be very undemocratic and rather ridiculous if not hilarious. So, no thanks, not for me!
Anyway, ask Marioninturkey, she does have a Turkish citizenship. |
Hello Deli kiz!
there are some laws in here which indeed are some unlogical ...
we will ask marion, anyway i will ask another friend which has citizenship etc.
But, i have here a colleague in work, he is from Surya. his real name is TAREK and 1 year ago, when he took the citizenship changed it in TARIK ... yanniiiiiiii

As far as I know (and the law may have changed and my info out of date) but there is a different rule for men and women.
I did not have to change my name when I married my Turkish husband. But a male friend of mine here who married a Turkish lady was forced to take a Turkish name when he took dual citizenship. He was in the office sorting out the citizenship and the women in the office asked him for his Turkish name, he did not think of one so the ladies in the office chose one for him right there and then ! His son also had to have a Turkish name when he was born.
I HATE this law because as someone mentioned here before, these names are given to us by our parents, something our parents sat and thought about when our mothers were carrying us in their wombs. It is a part of us and should never be forced to change.
If I have children, I must give them Turkish names - perhaps I would like to name my son after my father !
However, look around you in the street and you will see; English Time or English Home, or Claires, or Pastry Dreams - all English names for business even though this is also illegal.

Well, I most certainly would not want to, as there is no point anyway. But I sure would like to have the RİGHT to do so, whenever it suited me. The fact that Id probably never use the right, is not the point. The point is having it, and not giving it up.

This is SO IDIOTIC..
I am sure you dont need to give turkish names to your children. And you should not be forced to take a Turkish name either..
it does not matter you are a man or a woman!!
I am sure, giving that man a Turkish name was just a stupid nationalist taking the law into her hands.

law rules must be objective and has to save main rights,and i think name is one of the main right for a person and this right have to save whatever,and i think no harm to be citizen with any name unless it doesn't opposite or against to ethical and moral values.And i think some court decissions about that for keep ''name right''..jale or jane,Ahmet or Andre,Cemil or Jack any difference if they both willing to share same fate?
