More than 46,000 Brits changed their name in the past 12 months in a bid to reinvent themselves.
But while many changed their names for sensible reasons, others just wanted quirky and wacky monikers, like Mr Adjustable Spanners.
In case you were wondering Adjustable Spanners is what the 27-year-old from Essex changed his name to, not from – before that he was known simply as Daniel Westfallen.
Other odd names issued by UK Deed Poll service include ‘Fonzerelli Ball In A Cup Boogie Woogie Brown’ and ‘Tintin Captain Haddock Confused Brewer.’ Fonzerelli and Mr Confused Brewer are now legally entitled to use their new names on passports, bank accounts and their drivers license.
A spokesperson for the UK Deed Poll Service said staff are constantly amazed at the names people pick.
