Hah. That reminds me of a boy at school with a surname of Clutterbuck. Tis true.
Don't think I'd fancy being Mrs. Clutterbhuck somehow.

That's a double whammy, bet there are no help lines for that poor geezer.

Re: If you could change your name

my husband used to work with a bloke called Jonathan Hiscock, he changed his surname by deed poll and I have to say I think I would have done too.

Mags Angela is a lovely name, it kinda has an angelic feel to it, lovely name indeed. x

I knew a Higginbottom who changed his surnames to Harrison .....

Unsurprisingly, there are declining numbers of Shufflebottom and Winterbottom .....

It would be quite fashionable now, Mags, thanks to J K Rowling.

Re: If you could change your name

We all ( 2 x brothers, 1 x sister) had three given names - and I like all of mine - as long as no-one abbreviates them. Didn't think they fitted with my surname though - changed that by deed poll when I was 21 - and would not let marriage change it.

I'd change mine to something exotic and start to talk like Fenella Fielding...remember her
