Prince Of Passion, Funky McFunkmaster and Ice Man were among the monikers chosen by the thousands of Brits who decided to legally change their names in 2009.
Nearly 50,000 people contacted the UK Deed Poll Service in the past 12 months, an increase of 8% from the previous year.
The service's chief executive Mike Barratt told The Daily Telegraph that it had been a record year, adding: "Although we saw the effects of the recession during the first few months of the year, every month since June has been up on the same month the previous year.''
Other memorable names adopted in the past 12 months include George Thomas The Tank Engine, Blair Coco Lucy St Lucy Hot Pink Delorean Big Wednesday Chanel, Reggie Moondogg, and None Of The Above.
