Has anyone changed their name by deed poll?

People have called me Andrew Culture so long most folk think it IS my real name!

I'm okay with that

Road signs are good for names, couple I think would be good are:

Bulley Tibberton (two places but on one sign) and Kirby Muxloe.

Or Domestic Refuse-Tip perhaps.

Don't dis Kirby Muxloe, that's where Maggie Philbin comes from.

And the castle will be nice when it's finished.

I remember back in the 70's (honestly, I do) a Punk Rocker changed his name to Norti Rascal for a court appearance. It made national news back then.

Actually, there is a comedian, Boothby Graffoe who named himself after a small village just south of Lincoln.

Ain't dissin The Kirb, TVC, we take Great Aunt Maud to The Castle Hotel there when we visit - she likes it, at 92 she can polish off a big 3 courser and a white wine spritzer with ease.

I changed my surname years ago, I just went to a solicitor and he did it. Can't remember how much it cost or how long it took, but since I am a tight arse, it won't have been much.

Find a local solicitor who does free clinics, you normally get 30 minutes to an hour free, at least you will get the whole process professionally explained and priced out.

The guitarist in my old band changed his name because he has exactly the same name as his dad - his dad decided to register the birth after wetting the baby's head and got a bit confused by the forms.

I'm going to use my mum's maiden name....

Exactly what I did, (and probably for similar reasons). My brother was more complicated as he had the same christian name as the male parent and it took some time before he got used to being called Alan instead of Paddy.

I always thought Nutherbus would make a good surname for someone who was often late. As in Mr Nutherbus and his wife Mrs A Nutherbus.

The deed poll companies are providing official looking stationary for something you can do yourself for free.

I used such a company when I changed my name for that reason, I've used it in banks etc with no questions.

When I changed my surname, I also added in a new middle name.

I had a similar problem. My parents decided I should be called Andrew James Velvet-Curtain. However, between South Shields Maternity Hospital and the Registry Office there was a pub. So, by the time my dad had stopped for a quick refreshment or two and made it to register my presence in the World, the certificate he came out with said James Andrew Velvet-Curtain. He was not popular with my other parent.
