The provincial ''[http://canlii.ca/t/8481 Name Act]'' is the law that deals with changes of name, both for a married spouse following divorce and for anyone who hankers to be called something different. (The process is fairly simple for a spouse following divorce.) The ''[http://canlii.ca/t/84fk Vital Statistics Act]'' talks about the registration of new births and about the naming of infants, and should be read if you're thinking of calling your child something different like Moon Unit or Blue Ivy. | The provincial ''[http://canlii.ca/t/8481 Name Act]'' is the law that deals with changes of name, both for a married spouse following divorce and for anyone who hankers to be called something different.
