Yep, rules are;

We will not accept an order for a Deed Poll for a name that:

* is impossible to pronounce,
* includes numbers or symbols,
* includes punctuation marks - although you can have a hyphen to link forenames or surnames (for example, if you want a double-barrelled surname) and an apostrophe in the case of surnames like O'Brien.
* we consider vulgar, offensive, blasphemous or unsuitable,
* may result in others believing you have a conferred or inherited honour, title or rank, for example, a change of first name to Sir, Lord, Lady, Prince, Princess, Baron, Baroness, Count, Countess, General, Colonel etc.,
* does not include at least one forename and one surname.

The site also says;

Some people like the idea of having what we call a fun name. We have issued Deed Polls for fun names such as Jellyfish McSaveloy, Toasted T Cake, Nineteen Sixty-Eight, Hong Kong Phooey, Father Christmas, Ed Kase, Ting A Ling, Huggy Bear, Donald Duck, Save Barnsley FC and James Bond.

Wooooooah is it really that much? I like my old one anyway, it has all my stamps in... :(
 
It costs about £20 online for whatever you want and you get official deed poll certificates and they can be used for passport issue. My gf did the exact same thing and changed her name and its a lot easier than you may think you just send of the deed documents and get reissued a passport and then thats it, you can apply for anything.

Sorry for the repeat-hijack but that made me laugh so hard I spit out a cherry pip smack onto my monitor!:D

EDIT: What if you wrote the words Three Thousand? Would that still count as a number?:p
