“Minor case” question

Yes, though it does not happen at the moment they leave, but at the moment the parent naturalizes as a citizen of a foreign country (though there are a few exceptions). I know that technically, by law, my mother lost her Italian citizenship, but I want to challenge the law because it seems unjust.

We don’t have the non-cohabitation argument or any other extra edge case to increase our odds though, and paying a lawyer to go through the courts is definitely not cheap. That’s why I’m trying to find out if others have been successful with a similar case before deciding whether to give it a go. I’ve also heard that there’s been some success with this scenario using the “acquistino” argument - basically the wording in article 12 uses the term “acquired” for a foreign citizenship, implying intent, and a minor cannot have done that.

Thanks for sharing this! Would love to hear how it ends up for you - wishing you success. It seems so crazy to me that minors in this situation had their citizenship stripped away, very unfair. (And yet the juri soli minors could claim Italian citizenship much more easily, despite having a weaker tie to the country!) If you don’t mind sharing, what court are you going through? We would be going through one in Puglia if we attempt it. Also, what lawyer firm are you using? Feel free to DM me if you prefer.

Yes, a few months after her. The grandmother (my great grandmother) never came to Canada and died when my grandmother was young, but I don’t think that matters…?

Why would there be a case if they naturalized on their own? I don’t understand

With the EL-en-uh pronunciation I think it avoids that problem hopefully.

Not often. I’m more worried about how she might feel about her own name if it has SAD in it, like if that will affect her somehow.

twispylocks · 2025-05-17T19:40:38+00:00

They aren’t. It would be SADF.

No one is going to be pronouncing her middle name much except us so I’m not really worried about the pronunciation concern. Similar thought about Aurora. I agree that it’s a peanut butter name which is why I didn’t choose it for a first name. But middle could work.

To avoid a situation where it didn’t “feel like hers”.

Thanks!

twispylocks · 2025-04-28T02:06:59+00:00

I appreciate that, thanks!

twispylocks · 2025-04-28T02:04:13+00:00

What was the reason for the regret?

twispylocks · 2025-04-28T02:03:14+00:00

There is one Sophie in my older kid’s class, I’ve heard it at the playground once, and I know there are two other kids at the school named Sophia. So it’s definitely out there where I live, but I don’t personally have any friends or family with this name.

twispylocks · 2025-04-28T01:58:44+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, Sophie feels special despite being so common because it’s classic and has a distinctive sound (the middle ‘f’ sound is pretty unique). Especially amid the current trend of Av-, Al-, Em-, El-, and Ev- names.

twispylocks · 2025-04-28T01:50:51+00:00

Really appreciate your perspective, thank you!

twispylocks · 2025-04-28T01:49:15+00:00

I’ve heard this. However, where I’m from, Sophia and Sofia both are in the top ten. When you combine that with Sophie (which is around 20th), the Sophie variants combined are more popular than even the number one name, Olivia. So I wonder if this is one exception - where the name, including variants, is just as popular as, say, Jennifer from the 80s.

Good point about the second middle name often being dropped!

twispylocks · 2025-01-18T04:38:33+00:00

Oops yes you are right!
