Jazzy Moniker Helps Birmingham Woman Hit The Big Time

By Tina Clough, 12th March 2010

A bright young star in the modeling world has officially changed her name by Deed Poll to 'Princess Sion Nicole' in an attempt to hit the big time.

Birmingham-born Sion Nicole Wiggan has appeared in promotional shoots, in brand advertising and in music videos for globally famous artists such as Massive Attack, but felt that her old name did not make her stand out in her chosen career path.

Often chosen by brands for her tattooed persona, 'Princess Sion Nicole' has racked up over 24 tattoos in nearly as many years and is regularly selected by urban artists for work.

Princess, who admits that she is addicted to tattoos said: "I have been modeling for a year and a half now and it is an extremely competitive industry. Any attempt to stand out should be taken and when people meet me they instantly remember me, which is partly down to my tattoos. I have teardrops tattooed on my face and tattoos all over my hands which makes me unique, but my name just didn't convey that message."

After changing her name by Deed Poll with The Legal Deed Service for just £10, Princess hopes that some forthcoming modeling competitions will be child's play, now that she has all of the tools to succeed.

Princess, who has recently appeared in Pride Magazine for being addicted to tattoo's, added, "I always hated the name Sion and I changed my name to Princess unofficially on Facebook a while back. When I found out that it was just £10 to change your name officially with The Legal Deed Service, I decided to take the plunge. I haven't told many people about my name change yet but they will find out soon enough."

Jamie Jackson, chief executive of The Legal Deed Poll Service, who were responsible for legally changing Christine Hamilton's name to Mrs. British Battleaxe, said, "We get so many crazy name change applications, but it is great when we conduct name changes that will help individuals to progress in their chosen career.

"It really is so easy to change your name by Deed Poll and I think many people are surprised at just how easy it is to do. 

"An applicant just needs to fill out and send us a simple online application form along with £10 for an adult name change and within a few days they will receive an official deed which should be signed in the presence of a witness. Once this has been done their new name is official."

Princess, who lives in Hanslow with her five year old little boy, Rumia Massius Delgado added, "I would definitely recommend changing your name to others who would like to progress in their chosen career, I feel now that I have the right name to move forward and that can only be a good thing."
