This thesis contains a study of the legal rules governing the transmission and change of the surname in Quebec civil law. It undertakes to shed light, by means of a psychoanalytical approach, on the regime for the attribution and change of surname, notably on law reform initiatives in the Province since the onset of the 80s. Contemporary norms in Quebec in respect of the name depart from the classical features of the civilian tradition in that the role played by human will appear indeed to be preponderant in Quebec, be it as to assignment or change of name. This characteristic is likely to affect the normal functioning of the naming process by turning it into a battlefield upon which unresolved incestuous and narcissic tendencies are at play. Whilst the naming scene is in process of privatisation, state actors remain however principally as sanction takers toward parents.
