Summary/Abstract: The subject of the study is to present the principle of relative stabilization of th efirst and last name in the light of judicial and administrative decisions. Due to the complexity of the issue, it will be limited to three issues: the analysis of the fundamental premise of change, “important reasons” in the context of objective and subjective approach, the scope of decision-making gaps in making decisions on this subject, and the issue of changing gender and partner relationships. Due to the fact that the phrase “important reasons” belongs to the so-called not fully defined terms, and its application is accompanied by a widerange of discretionary powers, the more important is the role of judicature, which, while controlling adjudication in these matters, often sets new directions for interpretation. This is all the more important because in each case the criteria for change are subject to objectified assessments. It happens that subjective reasons can take on a dominant character.
