We all remember when Pheobe from Friends changed her name to Princess Consuela Banana Hammock. Turns out she’s not the only one who’s been revamping their identity.
One of the most popular middle name requests is “Danger”, which is undeniably cool. Now when they tell their friends that their middle name is danger, their actually being serious.
The Twitter account Quite Interesting tweeted on June 17: “According to the UK Deed Poll Service, every week at least one person requests ‘Danger’ as their middle name”.
One person who changed his middle name to “Danger” is Lee Cooper. He told BBC News in 2011 why he decided to choose the name, he said, “Names aren’t that important and I think everyone should choose their own name when they come of age. There should be less James Smiths and more Zig-Zag Banana-Hammocks in this world.”
Lee continued:
“My mum was fairly mystified when she found out but she didn’t give me a middle name to start with so it’s sort of her fault anyway, leaving me a blank canvas to paint on. My friend paid for the name change as a birthday present. i’m thinking of changing my first name to ‘incredible.”
