Interesting article in the paper today saying that name-changing is at a record high. This guy changed his name from Simon Smith to Bacon Double Cheeseburger. Apparently in England you can't change your name to Satan, Saint or Jesus... :? :cry:

    I can change my name to Mohammed, but not Jesus? I see a discrimination case coming up.

    You can't add a number to your name either, eg Garry iii

    One of the things that irritates me is the current fashion for women ('celebs' usually) who double-barrel their maiden name with their new husband's surname - Courtney Cox Arquette (that lasted well), Jessica Ennis-Hill etc, etc.

    Keep your maiden name or take your husband's surname but don't double barrel, it's pathetic.

    What happens when Miss Delores Winterbottom-Smythe marries Mr Cholmondley-Warner FFS! Where's it all going to end?

    The guys who sews the names on football kit do not have as much spare time as they did have. Borthwick- Jackson and Oxlade - Chamberlain fill the back of a shirt.

    If your surname is King, you could always opt for Juan.
    You could then introduce yourself " Hello. I'm Juan King"

    Nope, especially not Garry the third. Limited to royalty as far as I know.
