Ah, forgot to tell you about Viki's last name, as you might remember, the hospital messed up and didn't give us a form to fill in, so instead of Myname DHname, he is just DHname.
In France, you have to register the name in 3 days. On 3rd day DH went to check if they got the application and everything is ok, and discovered the issue with the name. The registry official did a great impression of Little Britain's "Computer says NO" sketch.
Both her and the hospital said that we have to write to the local court and they will fix the issue, no problem. Well guess what - the local court wrote back and said that tough luck, they can't do anything, you should have filled in the form 3 days after birth. But you can write to the next instance.
Grr. Apparently 27% of our taxes here go for the upkeep of this chocolate teapot administration.
So will try next instance to fix the mistake and luckily I have another move up my sleeve - even the civil code allows name changes if the name is otherwise dying out, and there are only 6 people with my last name left in Estonia, plus me. That should be dying enough for them.
