Adam changes name to save flight fee
Adam Armstrong changed his name to Adam West on Facebook, causing an issue with his flight booking on Ryanair, which would have cost him 220 pounds to change. Instead, he legally changed his name via deed poll for 103 pounds to match the Facebook name, saving him more than half the cost.
