Filed under: Teens & tweens, Weird but trueCaptain Fantastic Faster Than Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine Hulk And The Flash Combined is a nineteen year old boy living in Glastonbury, Somerset, UK. Obviously, he was not born with that name. The former George Garratt legally changed his name last week because he "wanted to be unique."At 81 letters, it is thought to be the longest name in the world. And, in my opinion, one of the most ridiculous. Captain Fantastic's granny does not approve and, according to him, has quit speaking to him since the name change.Gallery: Crazy Celebrity Kids' NamesThe photo accompanying this story shows Mr. Fantastic (is that what we should call him?) grinning madly as he shows off a sign bearing his new name. He thinks his name is 'crazy' and I can't argue with that. But I wonder if he ever plans on getting a grown-up job or finding a mate or having children. Who would take a man with a comic book name seriously? And is having such a unique and crazy name worth alienating your own grandma?Gallery: Top 12 Weirdest Baby Names Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
