No Passport.
Man who changed surname to Fu-Kennard denied UK passport
A man who changed his name by deed poll to Kenny Fu-Kennard has been denied a passport because his name is considered too rude.
The former soldier from Cornwall, applied for a new passport earlier this year, but had his application rejected on the basis that his name “may cause offence”.
The 33-year-old challenged the decision on three occasions, but the Home Office has remained steadfast.
Fu-Kennard decided to change his name to “something with a bit of ‘fun’ about it” after eight years of military service, according to a Daily Mail report.
He had previously changed his name to Coco Kenny at the age of 16, but was directed to change it back upon joining the army three years later after being told it was “immature”.
He then opted to “play it a bit safe”, settling for Fu-Kennard because “not everyone gets the joke”.
“Life’s too short to be boring,” he said.
In a Home Office letter, Fu-Kennard was instructed to change his name to something more acceptable or use his previous name.
