Attention-seeking man changes name

A British man can now boast the longest moniker in the world after adopting a middle name beginning with all 26 letters of the alphabet. Barnaby Usansky, 36, formerly Nick, is fascinated by words and added the new names by Deed Poll – plus Marmaduke – because he loves it so much.

His full name is now Barnaby Marmaduke Aloysius Benjy Cobweb Dartagnan Egbert Felix Gaspar Humbert Ignatius Jayden Kasper Leroy Maximilian Neddy Obiajulu Pepin Quilliam Rosencrantz Sexton Teddy Upwood Vivatma Wayland Xylon Yardley Zachary Usansky.



But despite the new title – all 197 letters of it – his mates still call him Nick. Unemployed Barnaby, originally from Manchester, said: ”I did it because I love words and old traditional names.

”I’ve always wanted to be called Marmaduke as well, because it is such a splendid name. My friends and family think it is ridiculous and daft. Everybody ignores my new name. They insist oncalling me Nick, which isn’t one of my names any more.”
