[quote=BBC News]A woman from Hartlepool has a new 161-word name after changing it by Deed Poll.
Dawn McManus, 41, promised to change her name to encourage fundraising for her charity, Red Dreams, which was set up after the death of her son.
She believes her new name - including the charity's name and people it has helped - could be the world's longest.
"Officially I should be called Red, but I appreciate some people will find it hard to embrace the change," she said.
She said her husband would probably "slip up" and call her Dawn rather than Red, her new first name, and Dreams, her new surname.
"He's not bothered I'm losing the McManus. He'll get used to it," Ms Dreams added.
'Crazy names'
The new name was registered via The Legal Deed Poll Service.
Tina Clough, spokesperson for The Legal Deed Poll Service, said: "We have processed a number of crazy name changes to date, but this is the longest one on record."
Ms Dreams said she did not know how the new name would fit on her passport or bank card but hoped she would be allowed to use initials or an abbreviated version.

Superhero fantasy
Ms Dreams' charity Red Dreams supports young people who want to pursue creative careers like acting, singing or film-making.
In December 2011, two Nottingham men changed their names by Deed Poll to consist of 15 superhero names each.
They were among more than 100,000 people in Britain to change their names last year.
Daniel Knox-Hewson, 23, became Emperor Spiderman Gandalf Wolverine Skywalker Optimus Prime Goku Sonic Xavier Ryu Cloud Superman Heman Batman Thrash.
Kelvin Borbidge, 22, chose Baron Venom Balrog Sabretooth Vader Megatron Vegeta Robotnik Magneto Bison Sephiroth Lex Luthor Skeletor Joker Grind.

I would've made the initials spell out something amusing but this works too, I guess.

she runs a charity, i don't think you really can take the high ground here.
Anyone cares to explain how this actually help charity?
Speaking of names, would it be "possible" to change your name to God?

I like how one is all the superheros and the other one has their arch-nemesis's...in order with his name.

She said she would change her name if people donated to the charity
Now she changed it she gets in the news, more people hear about the charity and even more people donate.
That has to be the stupidest sounding name I have ever heard. Congrats, I no longer want to donate to your charity.
