I wonder what he'll think of this name change when he grows old?
This geek here has gone bonker for awhile in a bid to enter the record book with the World’s Longest Name. His name? Captain Fantastic Faster Than Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine Hulk And The Flash Combined. The former George Garratt managed to do for £10 via a deep poll service Online.
It’ll not just seem dumb if you do so here, but you’ll face criticism from the society. He did it to be unique, but didn’t he just threw his family name away? I totally understand why his grandmother no longer speaks to him. He lost the identity, culture and tradition associated with it. The family name’s ’uniqueness’ is far more special than his new found fame in my opinion.
Many things could be done online with ease, but personally I think there should be tighter regulations in getting a deed poll in the UK. Previously I obtained a deed poll to insert a given name, but only via the lawyer’s watchful approval. If that is the case, then I reckon anyone in the world could actually beat the world’s record anytime.
"Wasn't that from a script of a episode?"
And in contrast to his reason of simply collating random hero names, it’s actually an adaptation from a episode of “Family Guy“. Call that stupidity in the name of senseless fun, plus no creativity considering the idea was actually from that episode.
Looks like his attempt at the record failed and overwritten by 1 year-old girl, Autumn Sullivan Corbett Fitzsimmons Jeffries Hart Burns Johnson Willard Dempsey Tunney Schmeling Sharkey Carnera Baer Braddock Louis Charles Walcott Marciano Patterson Johansson Liston Clay Frazier Foreman Brown.
Bizarre but sensibly changed in line with the boxing obsessed family’s tradition, with 25 middle names culled from famous boxers. While for George Ga… I mean Captain Fantastic, let’s just say he has nothing better to do.

Well, i still think there needs to be some sense when doing so. I just can’t seem to get it but it’s obviously laughable considering it’s really dumb.
