Some could not change their names back to normal

Ministry of the Interior in Taiwan had to step in on Wednesday. They urged people to carefully consider before changing names after a hike in applications.

As per Taiwan’s Name Act, people are only allowed to do so three times. It means in theory that some may end up stuck with the salmon name. In fact, a man seems to set the example for this, as he texted his mother to change his name back to normal. However, it was impossible as he reached his third time.

Meanwhile, CNA also reported that it dissuades a man from changing. Others still determined to change their name to salmon although they had already had their names changed before.
