[quote]An angry holidaymaker has changed her name by deed poll because of a dispute with the travel agent Thomas Cook.
Austin Kettle from Ipswich changed her name to 'Mrs Lorraine Darla I Hate Thomas Cook And Its Associates Big Shot Company Treading On The Little Guy Leeks' after a row with the company.
The 26-year-old bride-to-be took the drastic action after being told that she would have to pay a fee to change her surname on the booking for her honeymoon.
Austin had made the booking under her future married name - Mrs Leeks - and was later told it would have to be changed because it did not match the maiden name on her passport.
When Thomas Cook told her she would have to pay a fee to make the amendment, she decided to change her name in protest.
Speaking about the name change, she said: "At first I was a bit upset but it was just a bit of a crazy moment and I decided to do it. I think my fiance thinks I'm crazy. The amusing thing is my fiance will have to say my new name during the wedding ceremony."
A spokesperson for Thomas Cook said: "All customers are advised that the name on their booking must match the name on their passport." [/quote]
She's probably going to regret that.
What a long name, bet it doesn't fit on documents well.

She's getting married so it's going to get changed anyway.
That is incredibly stupid. Its not even a funny. Also I wonder how much that cost. Hope it was worth it.
Also good job pulling your fiance into this so he must make an ass out of himself on the wedding. Very "amusing". :rolleyes:

She's standing up for what she think is right. It's better to act like a fool doing what you feel is right, than be passive and do nothing.
Bet the wedding will get called off.
Stickin' it to the man!
It's not like it's irreversible. You can change your name whenever you like to whatever you like. How? Just start using it in documents and the such. That's it.

I could've swore I've heard that same justification used when people have done bad things.

There is a difference between taking a logical solution and one based upon stupidity.
Hey guys news flash. It's her name she can change it to whatever she wants.

Thanks for telling us what everyone already knew. Doesn't mean we can't call her her stupid for it.

Until you realize that "Batman" isn't your legal name and everything you have signed is now Void.
Also, she is getting married so it will be changed.

i'll be general custer
Well she kept her first and last name, so the big sentence part is just like a middle name
[B] 'Mrs Lorraine Darla[/B] I Hate Thomas Cook And Its Associates Big Shot Company Treading On The Little Guy[B] Leeks'[/B]
She should be [I]Cook[/I]ing in the Kitchen
This is the problem with my fucking town.
On the same day there were 2 major car crashes, much mangled metal and mutilated people and yet the fucking main newspaper and local news website goes with "Hurr durr lady got stoopid name lol"
I know someone who changed their name to something ridiculously long and stupid, which multiple gaming references in it. It had about seven+ words in it, and whenever he introduced himself he just looked insane.
I believe he ended up regretting it and changing it back. I have a feeling it won't be long before this woman changed her name back, as well.

[QUOTE=synth;22450159]her real name is Austin Kettle from Ipswich[/QUOTE]

If she gets sick of saying it she can always change it back to her original name but have her husband to be last name.

So she's a little guy eh?
If she gets so irate over something as small and stupid as this I just can't wait to see what she does to herself over some of life's bigger issues.

yeah and when you believe in yourself anything is possible
It only costs like £30 to legally change your name iirc.
