The right of name, as the earliest established one among the rights of personality, is essentially different from the rights of life, body, health, freedom or others.The right of name is a right, and other “personality rights” such as that of life, body, health, and freedom still belong to the interests of law in essence.Name is a thing outside the person, and can be regarded as the object of right. Only by means of the technical tool of “right” can we establish its association with the specific subject.Personality interests, such as life, are essential elements of human beings. As the object of right, it will cause confusion between the subject and the object. Moreover, it can realize the connection between the subject and the specific subject without the technical tool of “right” and obtain legal relief through the protection of “the human body”. The right of name contains the positive functions of self-determination, use, change, and proper appellation, which determine the independence out of the protection of the tort law. Personality interests, such as life, do not have positive powers, and they are just passively protected by the tort law, hence unnecessary to establish their rights. On the contrary, if we recognize the interests of life, body, health, freedom and other personality as rights, it will add harmful power of punishment to them, thus bringing the risk of degrading human dignity. The above reflection is also beneficial to the legislation of personality rights in our civil code.
