What's in a name? Teacher changes her name to 'Abcdefg Hijklmn Opqrst Uvwxyz '

 

London: A Colombian woman has officially changed her name to all the 26 letters of the alphabet, in order, "Abcdefg Hijklmn Opqrst Uvwxyz."

 

The 36-year-old teacher, who lives in Bogota, had been fighting red tape for more than 2 years to get approval on the name, and has finally got the right to call herself Ms Uvwxyz, or as her friends now call her Abcdefg, the Daily Express reported.

 

It is not the first time the Colombian woman has changed names as she made a habit of it and had previously named herself Ladyzunga Cyborg.

 

The teacher, who teaches art and photography at 3universities and also works as a fashion designer specialising in fetish clothes and bondage events, said that she has this need to constantly "redefine" herself, and wanted her new name to have the "element of surprise".

 

Daniel Molano, from the Colombian National Registry, said that if a civil notary had refused to modify her name in the civil registry, he would have broken his work obligations, as "no matter how unusual, this is something that should always be allowed."
