Article 7 of the Name Act provides that a person may change their name if it is precisely the same as the name of another person working in the same organization, studying at the same school, or living in the same city or county, or a member of their immediate family. After the law was introduced this quickly became the second major reason for changing names.
依「姓名條例」第七條規定：同時在一個機關服務或同在一所學校肄業，或同時在同一個直轄市、縣市居住 6 個月以上而姓名完全相同者，或與三親等以內直系尊親屬名字完全相同者，都可以申請改名，這也順理成章成了改名的第二大理由。
