Ok, so she did it for charity, but anyway...

A woman from Hartlepool has a new 161-word name after changing it by Deed Poll.

Dawn McManus, 41, promised to change her name to encourage fundraising for her charity, Red Dreams, which was set up after the death of her son.

She believes her new name - including the charity's name and people it has helped - could be the world's longest.

"Officially I should be called Red, but I appreciate some people will find it hard to embrace the change," she said.

She said her husband would probably "slip up" and call her Dawn rather than Red, her new first name, and Dreams, her new surname.

"He's not bothered I'm losing the McManus. He'll get used to it," Ms Dreams added.

'Crazy names'
The new name was registered via The Legal Deed Poll Service.

Tina Clough, spokesperson for The Legal Deed Poll Service, said: "We have processed a number of crazy name changes to date, but this is the longest one on record."

Ms Dreams said she did not know how the new name would fit on her passport or bank card but hoped she would be allowed to use initials or an abbreviated version.

Superhero fantasy
Ms Dreams' charity Red Dreams supports young people who want to pursue creative careers like acting, singing or film-making.

In December 2011, two Nottingham men changed their names by Deed Poll to consist of 15 superhero names each.

They were among more than 100,000 people in Britain to change their names last year.

Daniel Knox-Hewson, 23, became Emperor Spiderman Gandalf Wolverine Skywalker Optimus Prime Goku Sonic Xavier Ryu Cloud Superman Heman Batman Thrash.

Kelvin Borbidge, 22, chose Baron Venom Balrog Sabretooth Vader Megatron Vegeta Robotnik Magneto Bison Sephiroth Lex Luthor Skeletor Joker Grind.

In November 2008, a teenager from Glastonbury, George Garratt, became Captain Fantastic Faster Than Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine The Hulk And The Flash Combined.

Batman is extremely agile and fit.

Wolverine, while fit, is relatively untrained in comparison to Batman. I'd say Batman is at the peak of his fitness, Wolverine may have past his peak.

As well as that The Hulk is big and clumsy, I can't imagine he moves particularly fast or can maintain speed for any reasonable period of time.

Yes, because there is a kid called 'Keep going captain' in most schools.

Jeeze, and people think whoopsadaisydoodles is long.

Where's The Master? I think he should see this.

My mate 'Smiler' has a longer name than that FFS.


There is a mile between the first, and last letter of his name for Gods sake!

Born to Die

What is the point of that?

Some lad in Nebraska changed his name to Tyrannosaurus Rex recently because it's cooler than his real name.

He now officially has the coolest name of all time

1. Superman
2. The Flash
3. Hulk
4. Spiderman
5. Batman
6. Wolverine

Great film. I think the sequel is coming out at the end of the Summer in 3D. Hope she adds that in.

I knew he could jump far but didn't think speed-wise he was particularly fast, well, until I saw this.

Hulk can move at 215mph apparently.

Bit absurd really given his stumpy legs.

Bitches be crazy, Jack.

Yes. That's the part that's unrealistic.
