Titolo: Deed Doll

Dal Televideo di Channel Five :
Barry George, who changed his name by deed doll to Barry Bolsara.
Che diavolo sarebbe 'sto deed doll ?
E' forse un errore di stampa ?
E anche se fosse qual è l'espressione giusta ?
Come dicevano i Duran Duran :
Is there something I should know ?
Thanks in advance

E' sicuramente un errore di stampa. Si tratta di "poll" e non di "doll".
"To change one's name by deed poll" significa cambiare ufficialmente di
nome.

Sě.
Si chiama "deed poll" l'atto di cambio di nome.

Dear Salvatore,
You have been answered of course, and just to say should you, on your
investigative journeys related to this particular issue find a way and means
of effecting said deed poll with a minimum of fuss and bovver ( not to
mention cost), could you kindly inform the undersigned?
Changing one's name is a matter of particular
interest to one who has for well over 40 years been living in strange places
where one's given name is simply unpronounceable, and who has chosen to use
it so infrequently, that she always, always gets the signature wrong  on
documents of 'importance', thus causing innumerable problems with the
relevant
authorities who simply will not accept initials in the wrong order, hyphens
mis-placed and so on, as a valid sign that the entity in question is, as
such, the entity in question.
Such trials and tribulations in this modern age seems most unworthy, not to
mention unnecessary..
I remain, as always,
Bambi (whose faith abides firmly in the Privacy Laws in force in this
country and is confident that those in the know of one's legal name will
keep such to themselves. A royal warning has been issued!)

Oh! I see. I wonder who you might be referring to.

Changing your name by deed poll is very easy and cheap in the UK, and if
you have British citizenship you might be able to do it that way, but if
you also have Italian citizenship I don't know whether it'd be valid in
Italy. I'm not sure how it could be done under Italian law; as usual
it's no doubt far more complicated here, if not totally impossible.
Why don't you just ring up a lawyer and ask?
As a matter of interest I went to university in London with a guy whose
surname was Falik. I hear he later changed it by deed poll and went on
to become a Conservative MP.

Perfetto, cosi' muoio di curiosita' :(
Spero per altro proprio nell'applicazione all'italiana della legge sulla
Privacy :-)))))

 Why don't you just ring up a lawyer and ask?
Dear Mary,
The last time I looked into the matter - albeit many aeons ago - the
procedure in the UK (as explained to  me by a doubtless overworked clerk)
involved forking out several hundred pounds (which I may well have been
inclined to do) as well as a 'wait period of seven years (which I was less
inclined to do being young and in haste as youth so often is).
However, perhaps as you suggest, I should look into the matter again.
I don't think I even want to remotely begin to know what might be required
to effect the same change in this country, but since everyone here seems
more than happy to use my British passport as a 'document', a change on that
would accomplish all that I could ever want.
With thanks,

Dear Paolo,
Alas, on this issue, there can be no royal compassion. I shall take the name
with me to my grave and even then, ensure 'Bambi' (a half legal name is
better than none) appears on the head stone.
Trusting curiosity will not actually result in your untimely death,

Dear Isabella,
Those in the know, and they know who they be, do they not?
You don't mean to tell me you were not the a source of great amusement to
your school chums as a result of your name, now do you?

to effect the same change in this country, 
That's right. You don't remotely want to. And you know this is the
friend in me, speaking.
