Article 99 of the former General Principles of the Civil Law stipulates: "Citizens have the right to name, have the right to decide, use and change their names according to regulations, and interference, misappropriation or forgery are prohibited." Article 6 of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law stipulates: "Business operators shall not commit the following confusing acts, which may make people think that they are other people's goods or have a specific connection with others: (2) Unauthorized use of enterprise names (including abbreviations, shop names, etc.). ), social organizations (including abbreviation, etc. ) and name (including pen name, stage name, translated name, etc. ) has a certain influence on others. " Article 20 of "Provisions of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Trial of Administrative Cases of Trademark Authorization Confirmation" stipulates: "The parties claim that trademark litigation damages their name rights. If the relevant public thinks that the trademark symbol refers to a natural person, and it is easy to think that the goods marked by the trademark are licensed by or have a specific connection with the natural person, the people's court shall hold that the trademark has damaged the name right of the natural person; The parties claim the right to be named by their own pen names, stage names, translated names and other specific names. This specific name has a certain popularity and has established a stable corresponding relationship with natural persons. If the relevant public refers to a natural person, the people's court will support it. "

It can be seen that there are similarities and differences between stage names and name rights. Both stage name and name right belong to personal rights, but name right is more an innate natural attribute and natural right. Therefore, the natural person's name right is stipulated in the basic rights category of General Principles of Civil Law. A stage name is not an birthright. In addition to personal attributes, it also carries a stable correspondence with specific natural persons, as well as corresponding property attributes and public interests (mainly referring to the general cognition of the public, especially fans, on stage names). The establishment of this stable correspondence mainly comes from the popularity of stage names.
