Wang Ya-ping, a long-time student of Aboriginal names and a lecturer in the department of ethnology at National Chengchi University, feels that as far as Aborigines are concerned, the major ethnic divisions have received recognition of their names and their tragic past has found outward expression. It is understandable that, to avoid problems and even discrimination, an individual might choose not to use an Aboriginal name.
長期研究原住民名字的政治大學民族學系講師王雅萍認為，對於原住民而言，民族正名既已獲得認同，族群悲情已有了出口，至於個人，為了避免復名後增添困擾，甚至遭受歧視，選擇不恢復原名是可以理解的。
