Daddy Fantastic and Bobby Dazzler are two of the record 40,000 people to have registered new names this year.
Daddy was formerly plain Robert Sullivan, a carpenter from Gloucester. While out drinking with pals he decided he needed something more memorable.
Bobby, formerly electrician Paul Lancaster, was also egged on by friends.
Among the other eccentric names recorded by the UK Deed Poll Service is Something Long And Complicated, who used to be known as William Wood, of Scunthorpe.
Oddest of all is Chris Gray, of Bingley, West Yorkshire, who is now called Mouth Who Wants To Know O'Mighty.
