Would it be legal to change my name to " lady deadpool"?

[legitimatejunkiee]

Lady, as a first name
And Deadpool as my last.

No, but it would be stupid.

I believe the name is copyrighted to Marvel, and you could potentially be sued if they find out. Buuuut if you want to risk it, Wikipedia adds this:

"The applicant may be required to give a reasonable explanation for wanting to change their name. A fee is generally payable, and the applicant maybe required to post legal notices in newspapers to announce the name change. Generally the judge has limited judicial discretion to grant or deny a change of name, usually only if the name change is for frivolous or immoral purposes, such as changing the name to God, Superman, Copyright, Delicious, or Pussycat."

it is legal, as long as you have substantial reason for it to be approved by the courts...

A football player changer his last name to Ochocinco which is his number in Spanish. Also a basketball player renamed his first and last name to Metta WorldPeace. So i guess you could if you wanted to.
