A dental assistant who is to change her name by deed poll to raise money for charity runs the risk of being named "Scunthorpe Travelodge".
Taking a leaf out of Paris Hilton's book Eileen De Bont thinks that offering to change her name to that of more obscure hotel will raise cash for Children in Need.
Mother-of two Eileen, has listed 50 suggested new names on eBay and she will take the the one favoured by the winning bidder
The choices include "Semi-Detached House", "Spaghetti Bolognese", "Vauxhall Frontera" and "Scunthorpe Travelodge".
The 37-year-old from St Asaph, North Wales, said: "Everyone is telling me I'm really daft for doing this, especially my kids, but it is for a good cause.
"I don't know what made me think of it. I just wanted to raise money for a worthy cause and thought it was a great idea.
"It's not just exclusive to these 50 names. If a business wants a walking advert for a year I'm willing to change my name to that of any company.
"Raising money doesn't have to be serious business, I know it's all very silly but I'm deadly serious about changing it.
"Somebody suggested I take a leaf out of Paris Hilton's book and call myself after a place and hotel chain.
"So I may even get called Scunthorpe Travelodge, if it's the winning bid."
Eileen has promised to adopt her new name for twelve months.
