Jerusalem: Israel's
Population and Immigration Authority has received an odd request
from a man who asked to change his name to those of 10 British
kings who he admired.
The names chosen by the unnamed man are - Henry, William, Phillip,
Charles, Frederick, Michael, Louis, George, Edward, and Robert.
The man said he wanted to change his name in honour of the royal
wedding of Prince William and Catherine. The wedding inspired and
moved him, Xinhua reported citing local news service Ynet.
Officials said this was the most odd name change request they have
ever received.
"We receive many requests annually and we only reject those that
might be offensive to the public," a official statement read.
