London, England (AHN) - The United Kingdom's Deed Poll Service has said that a 23-year-old James Bond Fan has a 69-word name, which is the longest in the country.

David Fearn has changed his name, to all 21 official 007 film titles.

He is now called, "James Dr No From Russia With Love Goldfinger Thunderball You Only Live Twice On Her Majesty's Secret Service Diamonds Are Forever Live And Let Die The Man With The Golden Gun The Spy Who Loved Me Moonraker For Your Eyes Only Octopussy A View To A Kill The Living Daylights Licence To Kill Golden Eye Tomorrow Never Dies The World Is Not Enough Die Another Day Casino Royale Bond."

James, of Walsall, Staffordshire told Ananova news, "I wanted to be James Bond and now I am. It's the ultimate fantasy."

The survey of the British birth certificates also found 36 boys and girls in the U.K. have been named "Arsenal."

Football stars are also a common inspiration for names, according to the survey of Findmypast.com. At least three boys were given the first names "David Beckham" and 28 "Brooklyn" after his eldest son. Another 29 were named "Gazza."

It also said that golf fans have named 1,191 sons "Tiger" while some sports fans preferred brand names. Two children were called "Reebox" and three named "Adidas."

Popular movies were also an inspiration as six boys were given the first name of "Gandalf," one named "Harry Potter," and two boys called "Superman."

Spokeswoman Sarah Malone said, "It seems many of us are happy to take hero worship to a whole new level, naming our children after the stars we admire."

Fair enough for the bloke to change his name - he's got to live with it after all but it really annoys me when parents choose a stupid name for their kids, the poor little so and so's don't ask to be singled out for ridicule like that, kids are inclined to single out anyone different as it is so to give them a daft name is like painting a target on their chest and waving a flag saying 'pick on me'

Right....deep breath...calming down now!

Oh, and I also don't like it when someone's name is spelt in a stupid way and then they have to go through life spelling their name for everyone.

It's been going on for generations. It's why we have Wendy, Madison, Kylie, Dylan and Jason. I know at least one of each of those.

The late Duke of Windsor was christened Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David, which has a similar completist approach to Mr Bond. Perhaps his parents wanted him to become a missionary?

Should be interesting trying to get that lot in the little boxes on a Passport application form. Maybe he should have changed it to Dick Head. I know that would fit :rolleyes:

Exactly - or when they write another one with a slightly darker side - or if James bats for the other side!
