Everybody's doing it Yang Kuei-yin, who is responsible for statistics on name changes at the Taipei City Government's Civil Affairs Department, says that in the past three years the number of people changing their names has increased, with more than 15,000 cases every year. That's an increase of two- or three-fold on ten or 20 years ago.
據台北市政府民政局第四科負責統計更改姓名的官員楊貴因表示，近 3 年來，台北市更改姓名的案例有增無減，每年都超過 1 萬 5000 件，比起一、二十年前，多了將近 2 至 3 倍。
