Judge agrees to let man change his name to 'Ynot Bubba'

From the Las Cruces Sun-News

Justin Brady was asked what he wanted to be called and he politely responded, "Yes, Mr. Ynot Bubba."
On Monday, state Judicial District Court Judge Jerald Valentine granted Brady's request to legally change his name to Ynot Bubba.
Bubba said afterward he had no celebration plans, instead he planned to spend the day notifying people, like his insurance agent, of the name change.
Bubba, 43, a California native whose legal address is now Las Cruces, has worked as a truck driver for more than 20 years. He asked to change his name because he no longer had a relationship with his adoptive parents, the Bradys.
Bubba said he wanted his name to stand out and since some close to him had nicknamed him "Bubba" he decided why not change his name to Ynot Bubba.
Since his story first appeared in the Sun-News in mid-March, Bubba has received several interview requests.
"I don't know what the big deal is," Bubba said when he learned of the interest in his story. "It's just a name."
Bubba had also considered Lacon Marlboro or More Chek as potential names.
