James Blunt: His crazy plan for a new name!

James Blunt: His crazy plan for a new name!

London - the British musician James Blunt, known for his hit “You're Beautiful”, is planning a creative return to the musical stage, which is supposed to attract attention in an unexpected and humorous way. Blunt soon celebrates the 20th anniversary of his debut album “Back to Bedlam”, which in 2005 dominated the charts with an impressive duration at the top of the British hit parade. In order to promote his comeback, the artist came up with an extraordinary marketing trick, which could potentially lead to a completely different result.

The 50-year-old has invited Internet users to propose his name in a new, creative way. The name with the most likes, streamed over social media, will replace its official name. In a self -ironic video that Blunt shared on his social platforms, he says: "My name is James Blunt and you have the chance to completely ruin my life."

A shocking proposal stands out

After only 20 hours, the “Blunty McBluntface” proposal had collected most likes on platforms such as X and Instagram. This is reminiscent of a similar incident from 2016 when users voted for the name of a research ship. The “Boaty McBoatface” proposal at the time won the survey, but the responsible institution ultimately chose a less bizarre name that was awarded in honor of the natural documentary filmmaker Sir David Attenborough.

Blunt is optimistic about the ideas of the users and explains that there should be no return to him if the most popular proposal is ultimately in the name “Blunty McBluntface”. "I let people decide," he emphasizes, but adds: "But if it doesn't land it, I won't change my name."

In the UK, it is relatively easy to officially change your name by filling out a so -called "deed poll". The costs for this amount to around £ 49.32, which corresponds to around 58.50 euros. There are only basic restrictions in terms of copyright questions or if the selected name is offensive. It is also possible to undo a name change.

Whether James Blunt ultimately becomes the Blunty McBluntface, it remains to be seen. Nevertheless, with this palette of humorous suggestions and interactions with his fans, he has already succeeded in an interesting comeback.
