The article understates what Scottish law allows for children under 16.

Section 43(4) of the Registration of Births, Deaths and Marriages (Scotland) Act 1965 says: "Only one change of name and one change of surname in respect of any one child may be recorded under this subsection". That means the law allows one forename change and one surname change for a child under 16, not just one total change of name.

So the article's wording — saying only one change of name is allowed for someone under 16 — is inaccurate because it omits the separately permitted surname change.

The article describes marriage-related surname changes in Germany too narrowly.

Official German government guidance says that from 1 May 2025, German naming law allows spouses to choose a compound surname made up of both spouses’ surnames as their married name. The Federal Ministry of Justice likewise states that this was previously not possible and became possible under the new law.

So the article is inaccurate in implying that the marriage-related exception is limited to adopting the partner’s name. German law now also permits a joint double surname for spouses without requiring a separate “recognised important reason.”

This statement is too narrow.

Current UK government guidance says a company must display its name at its registered office and wherever the business operates. Separate Companies House guidance says a sole trader or partnership using a business name must display the relevant names at all business premises.

So the disclosure requirement is not limited only to trading premises where the public have access to trade. Official guidance describes a broader duty covering business premises generally, with only limited exceptions such as running a business from home.
