This initiative, supported by the University of the Balearic Islands, the Institute of Balearic Studies, and the Government of the Balearic Islands, offers guidance on adapting the spelling of first and last names to Catalan language norms and on officially registering nicknames (Toni, Fina, Pep, etc.). Since 2011, when the Civil Registry Law was amended, diminutives, shortened names, and popular forms of names can be legally registered.</p>]]></description>
