AI generated

The court unanimously denied the request to add an ascendant's name to the petitioner's official record. The petitioner argued for the addition based on family tradition, but the court found no evidence of consistent and repeated usage of the ascendant's name in the petitioner's life. Consequently, the court ruled that such an addition is legally permissible only when the ascendant's name has been integrated consistently and repeatedly into the petitioner's identity.
