Think it's more like €200.
In the UK you can get a statutory declaration for something like £20*, which does pretty much the same thing... fecking courts over here don't have that, so changing your name by deed poll is the only option:mad:

*I may have just imagined the name and price...

Not sure about Ireland but in Uk they don't let you pick joke names as a new name.

Also if your planning a name do it before you leave school as its a fricken nightmare to change everything.

You don't technically have to do anything: call yourself what you like. However I'm not sure it extends to your PPS details you may need to get it done by the Ministry for Truth. I doubt it will be very expensive, would you need a solicitor?

Oh and Chuck Norris, obviously.

A friend mine did this a few years back and it was something like £30 at the time to get done.

You don't need a solicitor to do it, you can just go straight to the registrar. But she is a woman with absolutely no sense of humour and won't approve anything too silly.

The guy who did the voice of Tony the Tiger was called Thurl Ravenscroft, which is simply an outstanding name.

Hmmm, change your first name to Doctor... brilliant... beats seven years of college and having to put your finger up old mens bums.
Receptionist: "Right this way Doctor..."
I like it.
Though changing my first name to Tánaiste is also quite tempting.
