Kim Ju-Ae,10,  has made several appearances with her infamous father and there are talks that she will be appointed as his successor. Additionally, the dictator has issued an order that anyone who shares the same name as his daughter must change it within the next week. According to Radio Free Asia, women who shared the same name as Ju Ae were immediately issued a summons to have their names changed.

“Yesterday, the Ministry of Security in Jeongju City summoned women registered with the resident registration department under the name ‘Ju Ae’ to the Ministry of Safety to change their names.”

This is not an innovation for the family, as Kim II-Sung issued a similar order when he established the regime, prohibiting other North Korean citizens from using his name. In 2014, Kim Jong-Un issued a similar order stating that no two people could have the same name.

“The directive was ‘voluntary,’ but as we know, few things are voluntary in North Korea, especially when it comes to orders from the leadership. So this most recent name ban is not anything out of the ordinary for North Korea,” said Soo Kim, former CIA analyst.

According to MSN, a 12-year-old girl’s name had to be reported to the Ministry of Safety so her parents could change her birth certificate as the name is being reserved “solely for persons of ‘the highest dignity.’ Last year, the North Korean government banned names that sounded too soft and wanted children to be named based on patriotism or ideologies.

After the reported rumor came out, social media responded to the news and found it shocking that women reportedly had to change their names.
