On February 11th, an American lady will go into the probate court as Sheila Ranaea Crabtree, and later that emerge as... Sexy Crabtree!
No, this isn't the lamest superhero attempt ever. Apparently Crabtree, who is the mother of two teenage girls, hates her name so much she felt the overwhelming need to change it.
Why did she choose this adjective, you ask? Well, standing before Judge Robert Hoover in Licking County Probate Court she stated that 'she likes to wear Victoria's Secret clothes'. And apparently that is enough of a reason.
It should be noted that her second choice was 'Sparkle'.
She will have to prove that she has a reasonable and probable cause for wanting to pay the $87 fee and have her name legally changed, and I don't think we are the only ones who would like to be there when she presents that argument.
I wonder if she will have to give a visual example? That could be an awkward moment for her kids, to have mum whipping off the belt tie mac, revealing Victoria's Secret stockings and a lacy bra and thong combo!
But just as an aside, if you thought that was a bad choice of name change, here is a cracker for you all. A crazy guy **ahem** I mean, an English man, decided he was bored of being called Daniel Knox Houston. He decided he would far rather be called Emporer Spiderman Gandalf Wolverine Skywalker Optimus Prime Coku Sonic Xavier Ryu Cloud Superman HeMan Batman Thrash.
Because it must have seemed like a good idea at the time.
