What do you do when you loathe your first name? You change it, of course, to something more sensual and more- fitting. That’s exactly what Sheila Ranea Crabtree of Pataskala, Ohio is doing. To replace the name given to her by her parents, Sheila wants to be addressed legally as ‘Sexy’.
The inspiration for her new name stems from none other than lingerie and beauty leader Victoria Secret, not necessarily because of the stunning supermodels or visually appealing bedroom wear. ”I figured I’m sexy because I have a lot of Victoria’s Secret, so go for it. I picked it because I thought it sounded fun,” Crabtree told the Daily News. “I’m very confident and very happy and I’m not trying to make up for anything but an ugly name.”
Sheila has gone by her middle name, Ranea, since before high school. She’d even request doctor office employees to announce her by her middle name. ”Whenever you have to fill out documents with your legal name, it just killed me,” she said.
The married woman of 21 years and mother of two daughters is currently awaiting Licking County Judge Robert Hoover to make a decision in the case.
