Teenager changes name to Captain Fantastic Faster Than Superman Spiderman etc.

A teenager has changed his name to Captain Fantastic Faster Than Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine Hulk And The Flash Combined.

SOURCE


The record-breaking name, now thought to be the world's longest, was the idea of music graduate George Garratt, 19.

He changed his name by deed poll online for £10 last week.


The teenager thinks his new name is 'crazy'

Captain Fantastic said: "I wanted to be unique.

"I decided upon a theme of superheroes."

Captain Fantastic joins a number of people with unusually long names, including Rhoshandiatellyneshiaunneveshenk Koyaanisquatsiuth Williams, a girl born in Texas in 1984.

The teenager, from Glastonbury, Somerset, added that while he thought the new name was "crazy", his grandmother was no longer speaking to him.

(more at the SOURCE link above)

Ben - Grandma not talking to him is clearly just the latest of his problems. SNL joked that "his agent thinks the new name still sounds too Jewish!"

I'd buy him a beer and a shot of tequila, get drunk with him, and then beat him up.
