Question juridique clé
Whether important reasons justified changing the appellant's surname under Art. 30 ZGB.
Solution extraite
No. The appellant did not show objectively serious disadvantages or unacceptable burdens from the surname Z.; the interest in name stability prevailed.
Motifs extraits
The court held that name changes require objective, substantial reasons. The appellant's claims of discrimination and distress were largely subjective and unsupported. Her long-standing use of the surname, and the fact that it is not insulting, ridiculous, or socially unusable in Switzerland, weighed against the request.
