More than a change of name
Every year thousands of people change their name using Deed Poll, because they do not like their name or they feel a new name would give them a new start in life.
At one time changing your name was the exclusive domain of celebrities or those who could afford it. Today anyone can change a name by Deed Poll. People want to be individual and not accept a name, simply because they inherited it with their genes.
For example, many people have weird and wonderful inherited family surnames such as Balls, Cock, Daft, De’ath, Dyke, Focker, Shufflebottom or Smeille; many of these people decide to change their surnames to those that have a less humorous connotation behind them. It may also be because people find these inherited family names embarrassing.
Some people, however, simply want a more appealing name.
A name is more than just a name, it is a label, it is something that “defines us”, something the world sees us by, and often superficially judges us by, so why shouldn't we have appealing or exciting names? You can use our official Deed Poll to change your name to a new and better name. After all if you don’t like your new name, or it doesn’t feel right, just change it back or change it to something else using our Deed Poll.
