The official confirmation about the change in the man's name. The official confirmation about the change in the man's name.

Here's one very good reason why you should never get too drunk and then place ridiculous bets with your friends who want to have a good time at your expense.

That is exactly what happened to a 22-year-old New Zealander who lost a bet. At stake was his name! His friends ended up choosing a new name for him.

And boy what a name! It's 99 characters long and he is now called "Full Metal Havok More Sexy N Intelligent Than Spock And All The Superheroes Combined With Frostnova"! (Care to think of some nicknames for him? Or for that matter, think how long it will take him to sign a cheque or fill forms where you have to sign numerous times!)

"My friend lost a bet 5 years ago and his friends changed his name," explained the man's friend, who also posted the confirmation letter online.

"He just found out it was actually accepted last week when his passport expired. He has to wait 3 years to fix it."

As of today, the man is known by his new name. He will also have to change the name on his driving licence and other documents.
