Yes, the name change must have documents clearly showing the changes, e.g. name change documents, birth certificate (translated), current passport and so on... The diplomatic stuff is weird rules surrounding it. Some countries will not give citizenship to the children of diplomats. But, if you...

You are not "naturalized"; you are not an immigrant that moved to the UK and became a UK national over time. Here is what the UK government has to say about this subject, "British citizenship is normally automatically passed down one generation to children born outside the UK. For example, you...
